How to Make Baked Chicken That Makes Its Own Gravy

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  3. Coat 4 lbs of chicken pieces (thighs, breasts, or a combination) lightly and evenly with 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
  4. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Arrange the chicken in a single layer, skin-side down, in the melted butter.
  6. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove the chicken from the oven.
  8. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
  9. Carefully pour off any excess fat from the baking dish.
  10. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 8 oz mushrooms, sliced, to the chicken in the baking dish.
  11. In a bowl, whisk together 10.75 oz can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup evaporated milk, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove minced garlic.
  12. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
  13. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon paprika over the top.
  14. Continue baking for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the gravy is bubbly. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
