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.

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!

SMOTHERED CHICKEN (USING LEFTOVER CHICKEN)
My family enjoys this quick meal. I have used chicken I had cooked and had in the freezer, chicken from a leftover whole chicken I cooked and chicken from a deli rotisserie. I have also used jarred gravy and leftover gravy. It's been good either way. We like it served over egg noodles.
