➤ To Make This Recipe, You Will Need The Following Ingrédients :
Chicken:
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt/Pepper
- ¼ cup flour
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
Gravy:
- ½ cup wine, see notes
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- ½ cup beef broth, see notes
- ½ chicken bouillon cube, see notes
- 1 splash heavy cream, can sub half and half
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, can sub soy sauce
Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon each: onion powder, garlic powder, mustard powder
- ¼ teaspoon each: dried thyme, ground sage, pepper
➤ Step-by-Step Guide to Making it :
In a large measuring cup with a spout, combine the chicken broth, beef broth, cream, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings and set aside. (This is the “gravy mixture”)
Slice the chicken in half lengthwise to create 2-3 thinner slices. Cover with saran wrap and use the textured side of a meat mallet to pound it to ½ inch thick. Pat dry.
Season each side with salt/pepper, then sprinkle with flour and rub it over the surface of each side. (The flour gives it a little texture and prevents it from sticking to the skillet. It also thickens the gravy a little more at the end.)
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden crust has developed. Set aside.
Turn the heat off. Add the wine and then set the heat to medium. Use a silicone spatula to clean the bottom and sides of the skillet, the “fond” will add more flavor to the sauce. Bring to a gentle bubble and reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.
➤ Pro Tips:
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. This ensures that it’s cooked to a safe temperature and will also prevent it from drying out.
- To get a nice golden-brown crust on the chicken, pat it dry with paper towels before cooking.
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, add more flour to the skillet when making it. If you prefer a thinner gravy, add more chicken broth or heavy cream.
- Add some fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, to the gravy for extra flavor.
➤Storage:
Store any leftover chicken and gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave it or heat it up on the stove.
