Ingredients
  

For the Gravy
  • 2 tablespoons Oil for frying Substitute with butter or cooking spray for different flavor.
  • 8 oz Mushrooms Any variety like button or cremini works well.
  • 1 small Onion, diced Shallots can be used as an alternative.
  • 2 lbs Chicken breast For richer taste, swap in chicken thighs.
  • 3 tablespoons Flour Use cornstarch for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 cup Whipping cream Half-and-half is a decent substitute.
  • 32 oz Chicken broth Vegetable broth can replace it for lighter version.
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic parsley salt Use regular garlic salt with fresh parsley if needed.

Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Slice the mushrooms into thin pieces. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until browned and tender. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil if necessary and turn heat to medium-high. Add diced chicken breast and cook for approximately 6-8 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside with mushrooms.
  3. Lower heat to medium. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of flour into the skillet, stirring constantly. Cook flour for about 1-2 minutes to form a roux that helps thicken the gravy.
  4. Gradually whisk in 32 ounces of chicken broth into the roux until smooth and lump-free. Return sautéed mushrooms and onions back into the skillet. Add 1 cup of whipping cream and season with 1 tablespoon of garlic parsley salt.
  5. Allow the Chicken Mushroom Gravy to simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally until it thickens. The gravy is done when it coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Ladle the gravy over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot. Enjoy your comforting Chicken Mushroom Gravy!
