Ingredients
– 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 21 ounces total) cut into 1- to 1-1/2 inch cubes
– 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
– 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1 lemon, quartered (optional, for serving)
– 1 heaping tablespoon unsalted butter for the gravy
– 1 heaping tablespoon all-purpose flour for the gravy
– 1 cup chicken broth for the gravy
Instructions
1-Pat the chicken cubes dry with paper towels, then toss them with 1 tablespoon flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper for a light coating.
2-Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until itβs very hot but not smoking, then add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 4-5 minutes to form a crust.
3-Flip the pieces and cook for another 3-5 minutes until done, ensuring a golden brown finish.
4-In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon chopped garlic and 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
5-Add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and the garlic-parsley mixture to the skillet, sautΓ©ing for 1 minute while shaking the pan to coat the chicken evenly.
6-Remove the chicken to a plate, leaving the bits in the pan, and if thereβs excess oil, keep only about 1 tablespoon for the gravy.
7-For the gravy, melt 1 heaping tablespoon unsalted butter in the skillet over medium heat, add 1 heaping tablespoon flour, and stir for about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in 1 cup chicken broth and cook until it thickens.
8-Serve the gravy over the chicken, and add lemon wedges on the side if you like.
