Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 4 (4-6 ounce) chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Gravy:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 medium green onions chopped
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth divided
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt or sour cream

Instructions

For the chicken:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Season the chicken breast on both sides with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Add to the hot skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until it easily releases from the skillet.
  • Flip and cook on the other side until the chicken is done. Set aside.

For the gravy:

  • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and green onions, and cook for 1 minute.
  • Stir in 1 cup of broth, and simmer for 5 minutes. Scrape up any browned bits into the broth.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together cornstarch and remaining ½ cup broth. Let simmer and thicken, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
  • Once it thickens to your desired consistency, remove from heat and stir in yogurt.
  • Serve chicken with gravy.

Notes

*Makes about 1.25 cups of gravy
