Chicken in Mushroom Country Gravy

Chicken in Mushroom Country Gravy

*note: I used water not milk for less calories (pictured), but the traditional Country Gravy is supposed to be creamier.. And this can be made without mushrooms for those who do not like them.



3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, sliced lengthwise to make 6 thinner pieces.

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
*a shake of canine pepper if you like a little spiciness


Mix flour and spices together in a shallow bowl or large food bag

Coat pieces of chicken in the flour mixture

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat

Fry chicken in olive oil until browned on both sides; remove chicken and set aside



Mushroom Country Gravy:

1/2 stick margarine
1/3 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 chicken bullion
2 cups milk
1 (4 0z.) can of mushrooms

In the skillet, melt margarine over medium heat.

Stir the flour until it looks shiny and smooth

Stir in milk, chicken bullion, salt and pepper.

Continue to stir over medium heat until thickened and starts to bubble.

Stir in mushrooms

Place chicken back in skillet and allow to heat through and cook a few minutes longer.

Serve over white rice




Oh this was so yummy! I didn't get this from any specific recipe.. Just sort of did my own thing but kept track of what I did so I could share. :) I am glad I did, because I will be making this again in the near future!
