Tonight's dinner mission was to have some good ole comfort food - shredded chicken w/homemade gravy over mashed potatoes with southern fried corn and green beans. Doesn't get much better than this. I got this idea from my friend, Julie, who told me she was going to make this one night last week and I thought man that sounds good. After a little explanation I knew what to do and decided to give it a go myself. This was a big hit at our house last night (Thanks Jules!).
Here's what you'll need
Shredded chicken w/homemade gravy
2 large chicken breasts
2 14.5 oz cans reduced fat/low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cold water
Salt
Pepper
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning (optional)

Place chicken broth and chicken breast in large stock pot. Bring to a boil and simmer for an hour until chicken is cooked thoroughly.
Once chicken once it is cooked, shred and set aside. Reserve stock to make gravy.
In a small bowl, combine water and flour.
Whisk together until smooth and no lumps have formed.
Add flour mixture to chicken broth. Season with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Bring to boil and simmer until gravy is thickened.
Top mashed potatoes with chicken and pour gravy on top. Serve with your favorite side dishes. Last night we had green beans and southern fried corn (below).
