Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 small onion
- 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Begin by dicing the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Finely chop the garlic clove and onion.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the diced chicken to the skillet, and cook until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the chicken mixture, and stir well to coat the chicken evenly.
Gradually pour in the low-sodium chicken broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
Add the thyme, black pepper, and oregano to the mixture, stirring until everything is well combined.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes, allowing the gravy to thicken.
If the gravy becomes too thick, add the water gradually while stirring, until desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust the pepper as needed. Serve hot over your favorite dishes.
