OMG, this was Wonderful! The Only change I made was to use milk in place of the water, as I love the taste of milk gravy. Couldn't believe this wasn't tried yet, as it frankly tastes Sooo Good! I Love Easy Simple from-scratch recipes like this, thanks Evie for a real Easy Winner! It smelled So Great as I was browning the chicken DH was eating some of the brown part of the fried chicken and telling me How Good it was...all I can say is "You gotta try this! finished recipe is Truly Delicious, Thanks Evie!

Very, very easy and tastes good too. The recipe makes a perfect gravy. I did add some boullion as suggested by previous reviewers. It really is comfort food that will be made again. I used breasts, cut into 3 pieces and they were very tender. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

I thought this was pretty good. I accidentally made the gravy twice as thick as it was supposed to be (because, come to find out, my baking dish wasn't going to hold 4 cups of liquid with the chicken). Like some of the other reviewers, I added a cube of chicken bouillon. My only complaint is that the coating on the chicken got a little goopy. It wasn't crisp enough to be breading but was too thick to be gravy. I'm not exactly sure what it was supposed to be... But I liked it anyways.

Great homey comfort food. Based on some of the other reviews, I added chicken boullion and poultry seasoning to the gravy mixture. I baked for about 45 minutes covered, then uncovered for the remaining 15 minutes so that the gravy would thicken a little bit. The chicken was very moist and well-flavored.
