Creamy Milk Gravy Chicken (20 minutes)

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless chicken (breasts or thighs), sliced or pounded thin
• Salt & pepper
• Garlic powder or minced garlic
• 2 tbsp butter (or oil + butter)
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1½–2 cups milk (whole is creamiest, but any works)
• Optional: onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning

Instructions

1. Season chicken generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Sear chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat with butter until golden and cooked through (about 4–5 min per side). Remove to a plate.
3. In the same pan, lower heat to medium. Melt 2 tbsp butter, whisk in flour, and cook 30–60 seconds (don’t let it brown).
4. Slowly whisk in milk, scraping up the browned bits. Keep stirring until smooth and thick (2–3 minutes).
5. Season gravy with salt, pepper, and any extras you like.
6. Return chicken to the pan, simmer 3–5 minutes until everything is cozy and coated.

Quick Add-Ons (optional but 🔥)

• Mushrooms or onions sautéed before the flour
• Splash of chicken broth for depth
• A little parmesan or cream cheese for extra richness
• Fresh parsley or thyme at the end
