Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2.5 cups chicken stock
• 4 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme on both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, sauté the diced onion and celery for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in 2 cups of chicken stock and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze, releasing the flavorful browned bits.

Step 5

Stir in the herb-seasoned stuffing mix until fully combined and moistened by the stock.

Step 6

Nestle the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet, placing them on top of the stuffing. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).

Step 7

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the gravy. In a small saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons of flour with the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken stock until smooth. Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 1-2 minutes to create a rich and creamy gravy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Once the chicken is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the chicken and stuffing with the gravy drizzled on top. Enjoy!
