Chicken Breasts With Chipotle Green Onion Gravy Recipes

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CHIPOTLE GREEN ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• Place chicken breast halves between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2-inch. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet on high heat until it begins to shimmer, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium; cook chicken breasts until browned and no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer cooked chicken to a warm plate and loosely cover with aluminum foil.
• Melt butter in the skillet; stir in flour and cook for about 2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan; cook and stir until gravy begins to simmer and thicken, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Stir in green onions and chipotle chile powder.
• Return chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.

SMOTHERED CHICKEN IN ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts slightly to uniform thickness. Preheat non-stick skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes, then melt 4 tablespoons butter. Sauté the chicken breasts, 2 at a time in the melted butter until browned on both sides. Place browned chicken in a medium-sized sauce pan.
• Add remaining two tablespoons of butter to skillet, and then sauté the onion until soft and brown, about 4 minutes Add onions to chicken in sauce pan.
• Add 5 tablespoons flour to skillet, and sauté about 2 minutes, until slightly browned. Add stock and whisk until smooth. Add salt, pepper and garlic powder, and then pour over chicken in sauce pan. Add ranch dressing and stir.
• Bring mixture to boil in sauce pan, then cover and simmer over medium low for 30 minutes.
• I serve with homemade biscuits to mop the gravy, along with mashed potatoes, or wild rice.

CHICKEN BREAST WITH GREEN ONION AND MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick. Best suggestion: place one breast at a time into a quart freezer bag, this keeps chicken juice from flying all over your kitchen!
• Cut green onions into 1 inch lengths at the green and thin slices in the white section. Clean and slice the mushrooms.
• Melt the butter in a large, deep-sided fry-pan. Saute the onions and mushrooms until just soft. Using a slotted spoon, remove vegetables and set aside.
• Combine flour, salt and pepper into a pie tin or similar. Rinse the prepared chicken breasts, then cover with flour. Place in the butter in the fry-pan. Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes per side. They should be just done--juicy but no pink in the middle. Scoot chicken to side of pan, or remove if necessary.
• Add enough of the remaining flour mixture to soak up the drippings in the pan, and create a loose paste, use a whisk to stir and cook for 1 minute.
• Slowly add the chicken broth (from granules, a can or whatever, is fine!) Stir until well combined; add cream of mushroom soup and stir until well combined; return chicken to the pan. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the gravy starts to thicken. Add a cold water/corn starch mixture if the gravy doesn't thicken. Return the vegatables to the gravy.
• Add the sour cream; cook, stiring constantly, until the sour cream is completely mixed in and warmed.
• Serving suggestion: serve over steamed rice.
