Description
This Amish Chicken recipe is simple yet flavorful, featuring tender chicken pieces baked in a creamy gravy. Perfect for a cozy family dinner, this dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or warm biscuits.
Ingredients
- 6–8 pieces of chicken (thighs, drumsticks, or breasts), cleaned
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 1/2 cups water
Instructions
1️⃣ Season and Coat the Chicken: In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
2️⃣ Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or oil, then sprinkle a bit of the seasoned flour over the bottom of the dish. Arrange the chicken pieces in the dish, skin side up.
3️⃣ Mix the Cream and Water: In a bowl, stir together the heavy whipping cream and water until well combined. Pour this mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is covered.
4️⃣ Bake the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 1 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked, and the gravy is thick and bubbling.
5️⃣ Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with the creamy gravy alongside your favorite sides.
Notes
- Flavor Tip: Adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the cream mixture can enhance the flavor.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
