Chicken with Chipotle and Green Onion Gravy

Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts
• salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 3/4 cup chicken broth, or as needed to adjust thickness
• 1/2 teaspoon chipotle, or to taste
• 2 tablespoons minced green onions

This entire procedure takes about 20 minutes, and the basic technique can be adapted countless ways. I usually avoid those yawn-inspiring, "Easy Weeknight Dinner" recipe lists, but this fits that description perfectly.

It's also a great random chicken recipe generator. You could make this same dish every Thursday night for a year, and by switching up the flavorings and spices, never have the exact same recipe twice. You can also recklessly rotate the starchy, gravy-absorbing side dishes, as this shines with any manner of rice, pasta, or potatoes.

the next time you're looking for an easy weeknight dinner, give this chicken and gravy recipe a try. Enjoy!
