1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add more butter if needed. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to cook for 1-2 minutes, forming a roux.
Gradually add chicken broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook and stir for 3-5 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Add milk and stir until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Return chicken to the skillet and spoon gravy over it. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the gravy.
Garnish with parsley if desired and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

You can add vegetables such as peas, carrots, or mushrooms to the gravy for extra flavor.
Substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts for a juicier option.
To make it spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the gravy.
For a low-carb version, serve over cauliflower mash instead of mashed potatoes
