Ingredients

• 1.5 to 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into large pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely minced
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed or minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

1. Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and paprika.
2. Warm the olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat, then sear the chicken pieces on each side until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
3. Add the minced onion to the skillet and cook until soft and lightly golden.
4. Incorporate the garlic and cook briefly until aromatic.
5. Pour in the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits to enrich the gravy base.
6. Return the chicken to the skillet and allow it to simmer uncovered for approximately 15 minutes.
7. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue simmering until the sauce thickens into a smooth, rich gravy.
8. Finish by stirring in the butter for added depth and silkiness.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
