How about a classic comfort food: Chicken with Chips (fries), Gravy, and a side of Bread and Butter? Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Chicken with Chips, Gravy, Bread, and Butter
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 4 large potatoes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 slices of bread
- Butter for spreading
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C).
- Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
- Make Chips (Fries): While the chicken is baking, peel the potatoes and cut them into thick slices or wedges for fries. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Prepare Gravy: In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to form a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes until it turns golden brown. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for a few minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare Bread and Butter: While everything else is cooking, toast the slices of bread until golden brown. Spread butter on each slice.
- Serve: Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the oven. Plate the chicken with a portion of chips (fries) on the side. Drizzle the gravy over the chicken. Serve with the toasted bread and butter on the side.
Enjoy your delicious and comforting meal!
