Description
A comforting skillet dish made with tender chicken cutlets simmered in a rich onion gravy, perfect for weeknights.
Ingredients
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
1. In a shallow dish, mix the flour, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder.
2. Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create 6 thin cutlets. Pat dry and season with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper.
3. Dredge each cutlet in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess. Reserve 1 tablespoon of flour mixture.
4. Warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown half the chicken 3–5 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and chicken.
5. Melt butter in the skillet. Add onions and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook 5–8 minutes.
6. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds. Stir in reserved flour; cook 1 minute.
7. Pour in broth, scraping up browned bits. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat.
8. Return chicken to skillet in a single layer. Simmer 5–6 minutes until cooked through.
Notes
Reheat gently with a splash of broth. Serve with rice, potatoes, or biscuits.
