  • 4-5 chicken thighs - cut into bit-sized pieces
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp roasted garlic blend - Fire & Smoke Society
  • 1 tsp chicken blend - Mrs. Dash
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Gravy Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 tbsp butter - divided
  • 16 oz baby belle mushrooms - 1-inch pieces
  • 1 yellow onion - diced
  • 1 green bell pepper - diced
  • 1 red bell pepper - diced
  • 3 cloves garlic - minced
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • cups unsalted chicken stock
  • cup heavy cream - (optional)
  • 2 tsp chicken bouillon
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp roasted garlic blend - Fire & Smoke Society
  • 2 tsp chicken blend - Mrs. Dash
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add all the chicken ingredients. Toss until evenly coated.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet or Braiser over medium-high heat, add the seasoned chicken in an even layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. The chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this stage. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet over medium heat, add the onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Melt 4 tbsp of butter in the skillet then add the mushrooms and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tbsp of butter, then sprinkle in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Stirring constantly to form a roux.
  • Slowly pour in the chicken stock, while whisking continuously until smooth. Stir in the chicken bouillon, garlic powder, roasted garlic blend, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and return the chicken (along with any accumulated juices) to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  • Simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes, until the gravy has slightly thickened. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  • Stir in the chopped parsley and serve warm over rice, mashed potatoes, or baked potatoes.
