Gravy!

I'm not going to lie, I've never actually been a huge fan of gravy.  Whenever it was available, I would usually bypass it and just eat my mashed potatoes without gravy.  Crazy, right?!  

This gravy, however, has totally changed my perspective.  It was loaded with garlic and other seasonings...ok, maybe not "loaded," but it definitely had enough to give it a really great flavor.  I wholeheartedly recommend this recipe.  It was delicious and very easy to prepare.  Just serve it up with some mashed potatoes and steamed veggies...glorious! 

Garlic Chicken 'n' Gravy

Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

5 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons chicken broth, divided

1/2 cup white wine or additional chicken broth

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon oregano

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Directions:

1.  Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.  In a large skillet, cook chicken and garlic in butter over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until browned.  Add 1/2 cup broth, wine or additional broth, basil and oregano.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 7-9 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.

2.  Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and keep warm.  In a small bowl, combine flour and remaining broth until smooth; stir into pan juices.  Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.  Serve over chicken.
