Steps

1. 1

   Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make thinner pieces. Season them with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder; the source does not specify exact amounts for this initial seasoning.

2. 2

   Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the 3 tablespoons of butter.

3. 3

   Add the 3 tablespoons of flour to the melted butter. Stir continuously until the butter and flour are well combined.

4. 4

   Continue cooking the butter-flour mixture for a few minutes, stirring continuously.

5. 5

   Pour in the 2 cups of chicken broth and stir well to combine.

6. 6

   Add the measured salt, black pepper, oregano, thyme, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder for the gravy. Stir well.

7. 7

   When the gravy starts bubbling, add the seasoned chicken to the skillet.

8. 8

   Make sure the chicken is covered in the gravy. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low.

9. 9

   Cook for 12–15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The source notes that thin chicken pieces were ready in about 12 minutes.

    Shred the cooked chicken with a couple of forks.

    Serve the shredded chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley if using.
