Betty Crocker Smothered Chicken with Gravy (Pork Chops, too)

I LOVE this recipe!!  It's incredible! (And incredibly easy.)  You can use any kind of chicken, or mix it up and use some pork chops, instead!

Ingredients

2
tablespoons vegetable oil
3- to 3 1/2-pound cut-up broiler-fryer chicken
3/4
teaspoon salt
1/2
teaspoon pepper
1/2
medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
3
green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
3/4
cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1/3
cup soy sauce
3 1/2
cups chicken broth
1
teaspoon onion powder

(I add some fresh garlic to it, as well.)

  • In deep 12-inch skillet, heat oil over low heat 5 minutes. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; place in hot skillet. Cover chicken with yellow and green onions. Increase heat to medium. Cook 10 minutes; turn chicken. Cook 10 minutes longer or until golden. Reduce heat to low; cook 5 minutes longer. Turn; cook 5 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet. Place in large pot or Dutch oven; set aside.
  • 2Continue heating skillet over low heat. In medium bowl, stir flour, soy sauce, 2 cups of the hot water and the onion powder with wire whisk or fork until smooth.
  • 3In hot skillet, cook flour mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with wire whisk or fork, until mixture boils and thickens. Gradually stir in remaining 1 1/2 cups hot water until smooth.
  • 4Pour gravy over chicken in large pot. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally. (Gravy may stick to pot.)
