Method

Step by Step Instructions

Season each boneless, skinless chicken breast with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
Heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes until shimmering.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 165℉.
Remove chicken, add 2 cups of chicken stock to the skillet, and scrape any browned bits from the bottom.
Whisk in enough water to thicken as desired, typically about 1 cup, and cook for 5–7 minutes.
Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream for richness, if desired, and bubble gently for another 2–3 minutes.
Shred the chicken if desired, return it to the skillet, and simmer for 2–3 minutes to coat in gravy.
Serve generously over warm, fluffy mashed potatoes.
