Creating this Homestyle Chicken and Gravy is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
3. Brown the Chicken: Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
4. Make a Roux: In the same skillet, add the flour and stir for about 1 minute until lightly browned.
5. Add Broth and Milk: Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, ensuring no lumps remain. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens.
6. Season the Gravy: Stir in onion powder and garlic powder. Remove from heat, taste, and add salt and pepper if needed.
7. Cook Chicken in Gravy: Place the browned chicken back into the skillet, ensuring it’s coated with gravy. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
8. Serve: Once the chicken is cooked through, transfer it to a serving dish and spoon the gravy over the top.

These steps guide you toward an easy and delightful meal that captures the essence of Homestyle Chicken and Gravy.
