Meal time just got so much easier!
Looking for a delicious, budget-friendly meal the whole family will love? This creamy chicken and gravy with rice is a simple, comforting recipe that’s easy to make and perfect for busy weeknights.
This post is part of our $10 Dinner Ideas series, brought to you by Brigette on our team! Each week, she will be sharing easy, delicious, and affordable family-friendly dinner ideas that cost less than $10 to make, use everyday ingredients, and are super quick meals.
This is one of my easiest frugal recipes that I have made countless times over the years. My family will actually beg me to make this (which is honestly pretty funny to me since it’s hardly even a “real” recipe in my opinion, haha!). It’s a perfect way to use up leftover cooked chicken or rice. In fact, if your chicken and rice are already cooked, you can have this meal on the table in 15 minutes or less!
It’s perfect for the upcoming chilly fall evenings where you need a quick, cheap, comforting meal that will keep your entire family full and happy for hours.
Grand Total for Dinner: $7.99 (serves 6)
1. Prepare 1 pound of boneless chicken using your favorite method. (Boil, grill, air fry, bake, etc. I love to sprinkle it with spices and bake it at 425 degrees until done – timing depends on the thickness of the chicken, but is usually around 20 minutes. I went ahead and baked the entire package of chicken breasts, although I didn’t use it all in this recipe.) Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, dice it into smallish pieces.
2. While your chicken is baking, cook 2 1/2 cups of rice using your preferred method. I always boil mine on the stove.
3. In a large frying pan, melt 1 stick butter over medium-low heat.
4. Whisk in 1/2 cup flour.
5. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk and 2-3 cups of chicken broth (depending on how thick you want it – it will thicken more after you take it off the stove), stirring constantly until thickened.
6. Stir in diced chicken and heat through. Season to taste with salt and pepper (as well as any other spices you want!) and serve over rice.
7. Steam the broccoli and slice the apples (or serve with whatever sides you prefer).
