ingredients
- 1 lb chicken (I used boneless thighs)
- 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1⁄4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 medium onion, chopped
directions
- Combine all purpose flour and dry seasonings together in a bowl. Wisk to combine.
- Coat the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure each piece is nice and covered.
- Reserve 3 tablespoons seasoned flour for later.
- Pour 1/4 cup vegetable oil in large pan over medium heat.
- Add the chicken to the pan, being sure to not over crowd the pan.
- Cook the chicken until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes each. Do not worry about cooking the chicken all the way through at this point, we will be cooking it more later.
- Remove chicken from the pan and add in the chopped onion and garlic to the pan, still on medium heat.
- Cook the onions and garlic for about 5 minutes, then remove from pan. Make sure to leave the left over oil in the pan.
- Add the 3 tablespoons of flour we reserved from earlier to the oil, stir together and let brown.
- Pour in the 2 cups of chicken broth to the flour, pouring slowly and whisking to avoid lumps.
- Let this simmer for about 2 minutes while stirring, then add the 1 cup milk and stir.
- Let this simmer for another 2 minutes and return the chicken, onion, and garlic to the pan.
- Cover with lid and let cook over medium for 30-35 minutes. Make sure to turn the chicken occasionally so it is equally coated in the gravy.
- Served with rice or mashed potatoes and enjoy!
