Ingredients

  • 1 packet Brown Gravy Mix .87 oz.
  • 2 small boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3/4 lb. thin spaghetti or slightly less for saucier pasta
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3 Tbsp flour
  • 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp butter salted
  • 1 small yellow onion sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 oz. tomato sauce
  • salt/pepper to taste
  • Seasonings
  • 1/2 Tsp EACH: Italian seasoning parsley, mustard powder
  • 1/4 Tsp salt

Instructions

  • In a large measuring cup with a spout, combine the gravy packet with 1 cup of cold water, stirring until fully blended. Incorporate the tomato sauce and seasonings, then set the mixture aside.
  • Cube the chicken into evenly sized pieces, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Dust with flour and toss to coat thoroughly.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip the pieces and continue cooking on all sides until fully cooked, approximately 3 more minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  • Turn off the heat, then add 1/4 cup of the chicken broth and set the burner to medium. Using a silicone spatula, scrape the bottom and sides of the skillet to incorporate any browned bits, enhancing the flavor of the sauce.
  • Next, add the butter and sliced onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onions are very soft and nearly caramelized, which should take about 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  • Pour in the remaining chicken broth and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
  • Next, add the gravy mixture prepared earlier to the skillet. Increase the heat to bring it to a boil, allowing it to thicken for about 30 seconds. Then, reduce the heat to a simmer and return the chicken to the skillet.
  • Partially cover the skillet while you bring a pot of water to a boil for the spaghetti. Once the water is boiling, add salt (approximately 1/4 tablespoon). Cook the spaghetti until it reaches al dente, then drain it.
  • Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce and toss well to ensure it's evenly coated. Garnish with parsley and serve alongside Garlic Bread with Cheese!
