Ingredients
Instructions
- Remove the skin from the chicken pieces.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and stir-fry the chicken until nicely browned.
- In a small bowl, mix the flour with water until the flour is fully dissolved.
- Add the flour mixture to the skillet with the chicken to make a gravy.
- Cook until the gravy thickens, adding a little more water if it becomes too thick.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken in buttermilk or yogurt before cooking. If you need a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend. Enhance the gravy by adding herbs like thyme or rosemary, or include sautéed onions and garlic for extra depth. You can also use chicken thighs for a juicier result.
Serving Suggestions
This chicken and gravy dish pairs beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes or baked mushroom rice for a comforting meal. A side of steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad can add balance to the plate. For an added twist, serve it over rice or noodles for a complete meal that everyone will enjoy.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover chicken and gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of water or chicken broth to maintain the gravy's consistency. Microwaving is also an option, but do so in short intervals to prevent drying out.
