For the Chicken and Gravy
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chicken broth low sodium
  • 1 cup milk whole or 2%
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste

Method
 

Prepare the Mashed Potatoes
  1. Boil the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper.
  3. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Keep warm.
Cook the Chicken
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Make the Gravy
  1. In the same skillet, whisk together the flour and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  2. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the milk and return the chicken to the skillet, simmering for another 2-3 minutes.
Serve
  1. Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates, top with chicken, and drizzle with gravy.
  2. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve hot.
