Chicken

Buttermilk Cream Gravy

Method

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest.

Making the Salsa

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine diced pineapple, mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Making the Buttermilk Cream Gravy

  1. 5

    Prepare the Roux

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.

    Slowly whisk in the buttermilk, salt, and black pepper. Continue to whisk until the gravy thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
