What is smothered chicken?Head down south and you’ll start to hear the term smothered quite a bit. The idea of smothering food, particularly meat, is a Creole or Cajun way of cooking. Originating in Louisiana, the idea of smothering food in a gravy-like base creates more substance and flavor to an overall meal. With this southern smothered chicken recipe, you are literally creating one of the most popular chicken and gravy meals. Boneless skinless chicken cutlets are dredged in seasoned flour while other ingredients come together to make a creamy gravy… This is one meal you can’t go wrong with! Recipe Ingredients
Step-by-Step DirectionsStep One – Combine flour, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Step Two – Stir until the ingredients are well combined. Step Three – Dredge the chicken in the flour, making sure both sides are well covered. Pushing down on the cutlets helps during this process. Step Four – Cook the cut bacon over medium heat until crispy and all the bacon grease fat has rendered out. Step Five – Add the vegetable oil to the pan with the bacon fat and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook on one side for 2 minutes. Step Six – Flip the chicken over and cook on the other side for 2 additional minutes. Step Seven – Add chicken stock, beef stock paste, half and half, and Worcestershire sauce into the slow cooker. Step Eight – Then add onion powder, granulated garlic, poultry seasoning, and corn starch. Step Nine – Whisk together. Step Ten – Prepare to add the remaining ingredients. Step Eleven – Place chicken cutlets into the gravy mixture and sprinkle crispy bacon on top. Step Twelve – Cover and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or until gravy has thickened. How to serve
