Baked Chicken Breasts in Gravy

 

Let me start by saying, I love this recipe. It is a tried and true recipe I have been making for years, and it is so moist and delicious.

 

Sometimes I use chicken strips to make this or I cut the regular chicken breasts in half.

 

Now, I do not like to make gravy, but this one always turns out great.  It may seem a little thin when you make it, but don't worry, it thickens as it bakes.

 

Chicken Breast in Gravy

3 lb. boneless chicken breasts 1 1/4 cup flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp Lawry's seasoning 1/4 tsp pepper Gravy: 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup flour 5 1/2 cups water 1 Tbsp chicken base 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp kitchen bouquet Instructions for gravy: Melt butter and add flour; stir to brown a little. Slowly add water; bring to a boil. Add chicken base, salt and kitchen bouquet. Set aside. Instructions for chicken: Mix the flour and seasonings. Roll the chicken pieces in the flour mixture. Fry in pan until both sides are browned. I use a combination of oil and butter to fry my chicken. Transfer to baking dish covering each layer with gravy.

Crock-Pot Chicken Chili

I love recipes where you throw everything into the crock-pot and hours later it has turned into a delicious meal. Other than sauteing the onion and garlic and cooking the rice this recipe is super easy. I didn't even thaw my chicken. Just layered everything, stirred it occasionally till the chicken was tender.

This is a thick chili which could even be used in taco's or tortilla's, but I like it over rice with shredded cheese and sour cream.
