Cooking Instructions
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened.
- Meanwhile, season the chicken pieces with poultry seasoning, salt and pepper on both sides.
- Increase the heat to medium high and add the chicken to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side, until browned. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until browned.
- Remove the chicken and onions from the pan and keep warm.
- Make the gravy. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the butter to the same skillet.
- Once melted, add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook the flour mixture for 1 minute, whisking occasionally.
- Slowly add the chicken broth to the pan and whisk continuously until smooth. Sprinkle in the thyme, salt and pepper.
- Let the gravy cook over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
- Return the chicken and onions to the pan and stir well to coat all chicken in the gravy. Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the Greek yogurt.
- Serve the chicken over mashed potatoes with plenty of gravy. Enjoy!
