Serving, Pairing, and Storing Your Masterpiece
Serving: This dish is the definition of comfort in a bowl. It begs to be served over something to soak up the incredible gravy.
What to Serve With It:
- The Classic: A giant pile of creamy mashed potatoes is the #1 pairing.
- The Lighter Option: Cauliflower mash or steamed rice.
- The Biscuit Lover: Flaky, buttermilk biscuits or toasted bread.
- For Veggies: Roasted green beans, glazed carrots, or a simple side salad.
Storing & Reheating:
- Storing: Let the chicken and gravy cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheating: Reheat gently in a saucepan on the stove over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of broth or water if the gravy has thickened too much. You can also microwave it in a covered dish, stirring every 60 seconds.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I make this without canned soup?
A: Yes! To make a “from-scratch” version, replace the canned soup with a mixture of ½ cup sour cream and ¼ cup butter, melted, whisked with the broth and gravy packet. The texture will be slightly different but still delicious.
Q: Can I use frozen chicken?
A: It is not recommended by the USDA for safety reasons, as it can spend too long in the “danger zone” temperature. For best results and food safety, thaw your chicken in the refrigerator first.
Q: My gravy is too thin. How can I fix it?
A: The cornstarch slurry method described in Step 5 is the easiest fix. You can also mix 2 tablespoons of softened butter with 2 tablespoons of flour into a paste and whisk that into the hot gravy, cooking for 15-20 minutes until thickened.
Q: Can I add vegetables to this?
A: Absolutely! Sturdy vegetables like carrots, celery, or potatoes can be added at the beginning. For softer veggies like peas or corn, stir them in during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
