Description
Creamy Chicken Gravy over Mashed Potatoes is the ultimate comfort food, delivering a rich, satisfying experience with tender chicken, velvety gravy, and creamy mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- 2 cup cooked, shredded chicken
- 2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
- 4 cup mashed potatoes
Instructions
1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the roux is lightly golden.
2. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, followed by the heavy cream. This gradual incorporation helps prevent lumps from forming.
3. Season the gravy with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Whisk and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Gently stir in the cooked, shredded chicken and heat through, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Serve the creamy chicken gravy hot over a generous portion of freshly made mashed potatoes.
6. Garnish with a sprinkle of dried parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Notes
Allow the chicken gravy and mashed potatoes to cool completely before transferring them to separate airtight containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
