Ingredients

  • 2 large Chicken breast on the bone
  • 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp Garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth
  • 4 Dinner rolls
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Rub the chicken with oil, garlic powder, lemon zest, thyme, salt and pepper.
  • Set the chicken in an oven-safe skillet or sauté pan, skin side up. Roast for 35-45 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat, (not near a bone), registers 160°F. Transfer the chicken to a carving board and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • In a bowl, whisk the flour with about an equal amount of water, or more if needed, to form a smooth paste.
  • Place the pan you roasted the chicken in, on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add in the broth and bring to a simmer. Add in the flour/water mixture a little bit at a time while simmering until the liquid reduces and thickens to a creamy, smooth consistency (use more or less flour/water to thicken to a smooth consistency).
  • Gently pull out the breast bones from the chicken and portion accordingly. Spoon the pan gravy and serve with dinner rolls. Garnish with a sprig of thyme.
