Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken

Remove the skin and bones from the rotisserie chicken and shred the meat. Set aside.

2

Make the Gravy

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

3

Thicken the Gravy

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form.

4

Add Cream and Chicken

Once the gravy thickens, stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add the shredded chicken and simmer for 5-10 minutes until heated through.

5

Serve

Serve the smothered chicken over rice or mashed potatoes, garnished with parsley.
