Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 4 large carrots, sliced
- 2 cups chicken gravy
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Slice the carrots into thin rounds. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced potatoes and sliced carrots to the skillet. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly crispy.
- Combine and Add Gravy: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables. Pour the chicken gravy over the chicken and vegetables. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Warm the slices of bread in a toaster or oven. Serve each plate with a chicken breast, a generous helping of potatoes and carrots, and a slice of warm bread. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
