Complete this weeknight "Sunday supper" with traditional fixings like chive-flecked mashed potatoes (don't worry—there's enough gravy for the potatoes, too) and buttered green beans. Baked maple apples would be delicious afterward.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 2 servings; can be doubled

Ingredients

2 chicken breast halves (with skin and bones; about 20 ounces)
1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning

1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1/3 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Place skin side up in 11x7-inch metal baking pan. Dot chicken with butter. Roast until cooked through, about 25 minutes. Transfer chicken to plate.

    Step 2

    Place pan with juices over burner on medium heat. Add flour; stir until golden, about 30 seconds. Whisk in broth. Bring to boil, whisking until mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Add parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
