Ingredients

  • Chicken thighs4 oz
  • Onion, sliced1/2 onion
  • All-purpose flour1 tbsp
  • Low-sodium chicken broth1 cup
  • Garlic, minced1 clove
  • Vegetable oil1 tbsp
Cook’s tips
  • Brown the thighs well before making the gravy; those pan bits are where the flavour comes from.
  • Simmer gently — a hard boil can make the gravy greasy and toughen the chicken.

Method

  1. Season the chicken thighs and dust lightly with the flour.
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet and brown the chicken on both sides, then set aside.
  3. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft, stirring in any remaining flour.
  4. Pour in the broth, scraping the pan, and return the chicken.
  5. Cover and simmer 20-25 minutes until the chicken is tender and the gravy thickens.
