Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for the chicken.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices of your choice for extra flavor.

Step 3: Brown the Chicken

In a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and wait for it to heat up. Once hot, place the chicken breasts in the skillet and brown them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 4: Make the Gravy

In the same skillet, add onion and garlic. Sauté until they are soft and fragrant. Then stir in flour, broth, and heavy cream, mixing until smooth.

Step 5: Combine and Bake

Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the gravy over the top, and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 6: Serve the Dish

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with your choice of sides.

Notes

Tip for Juicy Chicken

To keep the chicken juicy, be sure not to overcook it. Always check the internal temperature to reach 165°F (74°C).

Alternative Cooking Method

For a quicker cooking method, you can use a slow cooker. Simply combine all ingredients and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Garnishing Ideas

Consider garnishing the dish with fresh parsley or scallions for a pop of color and freshness.
