How to Make Chicken And Gravy

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Dredge 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Set aside.
  3. Reserve the remaining flour mixture for later.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm.
  6. Add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes.
  7. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and cook for another 2 minutes.
  8. Stir in 3 teaspoons of the reserved flour mixture.
  9. Cook and stir for 1 minute, until lightly browned.
  10. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups milk (or chicken broth for a richer flavor), stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens.
  11. If the gravy is too thick, thin it with a little more milk or broth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  12. Return the chicken to the skillet to coat in the gravy. Serve immediately over mashed potatoes or your favorite side dish.
