This simple skillet chicken is perfect for any night of the week, and the veloute sauce makes a wonderful gravy.

Use a good quality chicken stock to make the sauce, then serve with mashed potatoes or rice for a fast and easy, great-tasting meal. This is a recipe you'll reach for again and again.

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground thyme
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Dash garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter

For the Veloute Sauce:

3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot or onion
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
Dash kosher salt
Dash ground black pepper

Gather the ingredients.
Put chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/2-inch thickness.
In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter with olive oil.
In a plate or shallow bowl, combine flour, thyme, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a dash of garlic powder. Stir to blend thoroughly.
Dredge chicken pieces in flour mixture, coating well, then fry for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until chicken is cooked through. Chicken should read at least 165 degrees on an instant read thermometer.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Sauté onion until tender.
Stir in 4 tablespoons of flour and stir until well blended and bubbly.
Stir in chicken stock and cook, stirring, until thickened. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve veloute sauce with browned chicken pieces.
