Add the oil to a pan over medium high heat. Place the chicken in. Add in 1 tbsp of butter, the chopped garlic, and parsley. Stir and saute until golden brown. This will take about 6 or 7 minutes depending on how big the cubes are. When done, place the chicken into a bowl.

Note
-
Chicken Choice: You can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs for this recipe. Both work well, so choose your favorite or use whatever you have on hand.
-
Fresh Garlic: While we use fresh garlic cloves in this recipe, you can also substitute with minced garlic if you're short on time. Typically, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic equals one fresh garlic clove.
-
Seasoning: Adjust the salt, pepper, and other seasonings to suit your taste. Feel free to add herbs like thyme or rosemary for an extra layer of flavor.
-
Searing the Chicken: Make sure to sear the chicken in a hot pan. This step creates a nice golden-brown crust and seals in the juices. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook the chicken in batches if needed.
-
Homemade Gravy: Making gravy from scratch is simple but requires constant stirring. Be patient and keep stirring to prevent lumps. If you do get lumps, you can strain the gravy to make it silky smooth.
-
Consistency: Adjust the gravy's thickness by adding more or less chicken broth. If it's too thick, add more broth; if it's too thin, simmer a bit longer to reduce it.
-
Serving Suggestions: Serve this garlic chicken with gravy over cooked rice, mashed potatoes, pasta, or with a side of steamed vegetables. It's also great with crusty bread to soak up that delicious gravy.
-
Customization: Get creative with this recipe! You can add sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, or even a splash of white wine to the gravy for additional depth of flavor.
