Ingredients
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4 medium), cut into bite-sized pieces
1 Tbsp salted butter
½ cup chopped onion (fresh or frozen)
½ cup green bell pepper, chopped
4 oz canned mushrooms (stems and pieces), drained
1 packet onion soup mix
1¼ cups water
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp cold water
Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
Prepare rice according to package directions and set aside.
Mix the gravy base: In a small bowl, whisk together onion soup mix, 1¼ cups water, and Worcestershire sauce.
In another small bowl, stir cornstarch with 1 Tbsp cold water until smooth. Set aside.
Cook the chicken: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and cook 1–2 minutes per side until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté onions, green bell pepper, and mushrooms for 2–3 minutes until softened.
Pour in the onion soup mixture and return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 8–10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
Remove chicken to a serving bowl. Stir in the cornstarch slurry, bring the sauce to a gentle boil, and cook for 1–2 minutes until thickened.
Serve chicken and gravy over cooked rice.
Notes
Cut chicken evenly for quicker, even cooking.
Swap water for chicken broth for a richer sauce.
Add 2–3 Tbsp of sour cream at the end for a creamy variation.
Also pairs well with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles.
To add more veggies, stir in peas or frozen mixed vegetables with the peppers.
