Chicken & Herb Gravy

December 13, 2022 Amanda Plott

Keeping it simple today with this Chicken & Herb Gravy! It’s an easy chicken dish that cooks up in one pan and is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The recipe is easily to double for a larger family, but I stuck with two servings. This dish starts out with searing the chicken and then using the drippings and good bits at the bottom of the skillet as the base for your gravy.

Homemade gravy is always the way to go and this one is super simple. Roux, broth, herbs, and you’re done! The chicken is then finished off cooking in the homemade gravy and is great served with potatoes or even over some rice.

Gravy is gravy and there isn’t much here to make better-for-you other than no cream was used and I went with a low sodium broth instead of anything standard. All in all you can’t go wrong here with this simple main part of dinner. I served mine over some quick mashed potatoes and green beans to round out the meal.

I also used one really large chicken breast, but tenders could also work here - they just won’t take as long to sear and cook so be mindful of time on those so they don’t end up overdone and dry!
