Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Chicken (bone-in or boneless) Bone-in chicken adds moisture and flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Use freshly ground for the best flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Use freshly ground for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup Onion (chopped) A sweet onion enhances the dish's flavors.
  • 2 cups Chicken broth Homemade broth elevates taste, but store-bought works just fine.
  • 1 can Cream of chicken soup For a lighter touch, you can use a reduced-fat version.
  • 1/4 cup Flour This contributes to thickening the gravy; consider cornstarch for a gluten-free option.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Unsalted butter is best to control salt levels.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Generously sprinkle salt and pepper on the chicken pieces.
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat until bubbly.
  3. Add the chopped onions and cook until they are soft and translucent.
  4. Introduce the chicken to the pan, searing it on both sides until a lovely golden-brown crust forms.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together chicken broth and cream of chicken soup, then pour over the chicken evenly.
  6. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir to combine, ensuring a nice, thick gravy.
  7. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, allowing the chicken to cook through and the gravy to thicken.
  8. Once cooked, serve the chicken and gravy hot over fluffy rice or creamy mashed potatoes.

Notes

Keep the flame at medium to avoid burning. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F.
