How To Make healthy southern smothered chicken

• 1

  Put 3/4c. flour into a shallow bowl. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, poultry seasoning and 1/2 tsp. paprika. (I also add a pinch of cayenne or a little Cajun seasoning in place of salt and pepper. We like spicy:) Dredge each piece of chicken into flour mixture.

  Spray a large non-stick frying pan liberally with cooking spray. Warm pan to medium heat. Brown chicken on each side. It will still be white in spots with flour. You will not get an even brown like with frying. Remove browned chicken to a plate, they should not be cooked through.

  After all chicken is browned and removed from pan, pour in chicken broth and scrape bottom of the pan. Now pour in the well shaken milk mixture and stir to combine with the chicken broth. Add the chicken back to the pan and cover with a lid. Simmer, covered and stirring occasionally for 10-15 minutes. Chicken will finish cooking and gravy will thicken.
