In a large bowl: add the chicken, small drizzle of olive oil, and the dry seasonings. Mix everything together and make sure the chicken is perfectly seasoned.

Optional: Marinate the meat for at least 20 to 30 minutes.

Next, heat up some olive oil in a skillet and allow the oil to get hot over medium-high heat.

Add the seasoned chicken & allow the chicken to brown on each side. It may take 3 to 5 minutes per side. Note: The chicken will finish cooking in the oven, you’re just browning it.

Remove the browned chicken from the skillet & place in a baking dish. Set it to the side and make the gravy next.

Leave a little bit of oil in the pan to make the gravy. Add some flour and stir it into the pan drippings and allow the flour to dissolve.

Next, pour in the chicken broth, half & half, and stir everything together.

Season the gravy with the same seasonings you used to season the chicken. Allow the liquid to come to a slight boil and simmer for a few minutes.

Tip: After the gravy has simmered for about 5 minutes, do a taste test. Make any adjustments if needed.

Pour the gravy over the chicken in the baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees in the oven.

The cooking time will vary but allow the chicken to fully cook. Properly cooked chicken should reach 165 °F, use a thermometer to check for doneness.

The gravy should have thickened up. It should be smooth & creamy, not too runny or too thick so that it doesn’t pour easily.

Serve over rice or mashed potatoes & enjoy!
