Sauté Base: Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onion and celery; cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic for one minute until fragrant, building a delicious base.
Brown Chicken: Add chicken pieces to the pot and cook until lightly browned on all sides. Season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. This initial browning adds depth to your ultimate Chicken and Gravy Stovetop.
Build Gravy: Pour in chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce, bringing it to a gentle simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour into the milk until smooth. This slurry is key to a lump-free, rich gravy.
Thicken & Simmer: Gradually whisk the milk-flour slurry into the simmering broth, stirring constantly. Continue to cook until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes.
Finish Cooking: Ensure the chicken is cooked through and tender, and the gravy flavors have fully melded. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. This ensures every bite of your Chicken and Gravy Stovetop is perfect.
Garnish & Enjoy: Stir in fresh chopped parsley just before serving. Ladle this warm, comforting Chicken and Gravy Stovetop over your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or biscuits. Pure comfort awaits your family!

Always whisk the milk-flour slurry completely smooth before adding to prevent lumpy gravy.

Store leftover Chicken and Gravy Stovetop in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend (with xanthan gum) for a delicious gluten-free gravy.

Serve warm over mashed potatoes or biscuits, garnished with fresh parsley, for ultimate comfort.

For truly tender chicken, rest it briefly after browning to retain juices and ensure ultimate succulence.
