Steps:
- Start off by making sure that all of the chicken is nice and clean.
- Pour 1 1/2 cup flour into a large bowl, and add in seasonings : garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, celery seed, poultry seasoning, and smoked paprika. Mix until well incorporated.
- Coat the chicken with the seasoned flour, and make sure you coat all surfaces.
- Reserve the seasoned flour
- Pour 1/4 cup of vegetable oil into a large pan, then place the plan over medium heat.
- Start adding in the chicken, but be sure to not over crowd the pan ( use a pan big enough to hold all of the chicken).
- Cook the chicken until it is golden brown(DO NOT worry about cooking the chicken until done, because we will cook it some more).
- Once the chicken is nice and browned, remove it from the pan. Leave the oil in the pan.
- Toss in the onions, and cook them for about 2 minutes, then add in the garlic. Once the garlic is in the pan let it cook for an additional minute, then remove the onions and garlic from the pan.
- Add three tbsp of the seasoned flour (the same flour that you coat the chicken with) to the pan. Stir in with the oil.
- Next pour in 2 cups of chicken broth. Whisk in while pouring in the broth. Make sure there aren't any lumps.
- Let the gravy cook for about 2 minutes ( still on medium heat), then pour in 1 cup of milk into the pan.
- Let the creamy gravy cook for about 3 minutes, then start adding the chicken back into the pan, as well as the onions and garlic.
- Make sure all of the chicken is coated with the creamy gravy.
- Place a lid on the pan, then let the chicken cook for 30-35 minutes. Be sure to occasionally turn the chicken.
- Once done serve the chicken with rice or mashed potatoes.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- For the chicken: Add the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, a nice pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper to a medium bowl. Stir to distribute. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat. Let sit in the bowl.
- For the gravy: Add the butter and flour to a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir together with a wooden spoon and cook, stirring, until a deep brown color but not burning, about 6 minutes. Add the onions, Dijon, thyme, paprika and garlic and stir to coat. Slowly add the stock and stir. Raise the heat to a simmer and cook until thickened like gravy. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
- Add the oil to a large pan over medium-high heat. When it begins to swirl, shake the excess flour off the chicken and add to the pan. Sear on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes per side, then place in the gravy and simmer, covered, to complete cooking, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve over rice or mashed potatoes.
- Cover potatoes and garlic with water by 1 inch in a large pot. Bring to a boil, add salt and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well.
- Put the potatoes and garlic back in the pot and cook over low heat to evaporate the rest of the water. Mash in the butter with a potato masher. Add the heavy cream in stages until the desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Prep the oven and baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. Place a rack over a baking sheet.
- Make the spice rub. In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning and chili powder.
- Prep the chicken. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Generously season the chicken thighs with about ¾ of the seasoning rub. Place the seasoned chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
- Prep the dredge. Season the flour with remaining seasoning rub, salt and pepper. Transfer 2 tablespoons of the seasoned flour to a smaller bowl.
- Dredge the chicken thighs. Dredge the chicken thighs through the flour mixture making sure they are fully coated. Shake off any excess flour. Place the thighs back on the rack and repeat with remaining chicken thighs.
- Pan sear the chicken. Heat the olive oil in a large oven safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes per side until browned. The chicken won't be fully cooked at this point. Transfer the chicken back to the rack.
- Cook the onion and garlic. In the same skillet add the butter, onion and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic. Stir in the red pepper flakes.
- Sprinkle flour. Sprinkle the reserved seasoned flour over the onions and continue cooking while stirring for another 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Make the gravy. Start pouring chicken broth while continuously whisking and cook for a couple more minutes until the gravy comes to a simmer. Whisk in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
- Add chicken and braise in the oven. Add the chicken back to the skillet and spoon some of the gravy over the chicken. Cover the skillet and transfer it to the oven. Cook in the oven for one hour.
- Garnish and serve. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over mashed potatoes or rice.

AWESOME SMOTHERED CHICKEN
Robyn was accurate in naming this chicken recipe - it really is awesome! The flavor of all the fresh veggies cooked down with the chicken is fantastic. Melting your favorite cheese just brings this to a whole new level. We used pepper jack and loved the spice. But use your favorite. A great low-carb way to prepare a plain chicken...

Steps:
- 1. Put a few tablespoons cooking oil (I use canola) and a couple of tablespoons butter into a skillet. Sauté the mushrooms, green pepper, onion, and garlic in butter/oil mixture until tender.
- 2. Flatten the chicken, if desired; sprinkle with desired seasonings.
- 3. Place the chicken into the pan.
- 4. Cover with the vegetables and let simmer until chicken is cooked through.
- 5. Note: You can also remove the vegetables while you're cooking the chicken and then when chicken is done, simply throw everything back onto the tops of chicken breasts. The choice is yours.
- 6. Add shredded cheese or large slices of cheese.
- 7. Cover with lid just long enough to melt cheese down through the vegetables and onto the chicken. (My favorite cheese to use is the pepper jack... mmm!)
- 8. Makes 6 servings. Do not freeze.
- 9. Serve with your favorite sides. Hint: To make this a little less fattening, try grilling your chicken on the outdoor grill and saute your vegetables in fry pan on top of stove as in recipe. Then continue with rest of recipe.

Steps:
- Prework: Add chicken dredge ingredients to a large plate and toss to combine. Set aside. Measure out gravy ingredients prior to beginning.
- Cook the Bacon: Fry bacon over medium-low heat until crispy on both sides. Remove from pan and pour grease into a heat-safe bowl. Reserve 2-4 Tablespoons of clear bacon drippings. Wipe any black residue from the pan if needed.
- Slice & Pound the Chicken: While the bacon cooks, slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create 2 thinner slices. Place saran wrap over them and use a meat tenderizer to pound them to about 3/4 inches thick. This gives them a little more texture for the flour dredge to hold on to. They'll plump up more when cooked.
- Coat the Chicken: Wipe the chicken dry and coat generously in the flour mixture, get in every nook and cranny.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the reserved bacon drippings to the clean pan and enough vegetable oil to cover the chicken by half. Heat over medium-high heat. Once heated and glistening, add the chicken. Fry 2 at a time for about 5 minutes per side, until they have a nice golden sear. Set aside on a plate. Adjust heat down slightly and back up throughout cooking as needed.
- Drain the oil: Remove the oil from the pot and use a paper towel to remove any black spots from the pan, but leave any brown remnants. This is called 'fond' and will give the gravy a nice flavor.
- Make the Roux: Melt the butter over medium heat and use a silicone spatula to "clean" the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle the flour gradually, whisking continuously, until a paste forms.
- Add the Broth and Half and Half: Add the liquid in small increments, whisking constantly. It will thicken up in between each splash of liquid. If you add it all at once, you'll "break" the roux and it won't be thick.
- Add remaining gravy ingredients: Slowly add the beef bouillon, soy sauce, and seasonings.
- Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add a few drops of kitchen bouquet if a darker color is desired.
- Add the chicken back to the pan along with any juice from the plate.
- Chop up the bacon and add it to the top of the chicken.
- Cover partially and cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees prior to serving.
- Garnish with parsley and serve with mashed potatoes.
