Ingredients

1 pkt brown gravy mix (check fat grams-Pioneer is low)

cup yellow onion thinly sliced

1 clove garlic (1 to 2)

hot sauce such as Tabasco,buffalo, Cajun chef,

1 chicken breast

can tomato paste

chicken browning

Preparation

* For a long time, I only used chicken or vegetable stock to brown chicken.

Some people use Pam, et al. Now I generally use 1 t olive oil and 1T stock

(chicken base & water)

Prepare gravy mix according to directions. Mix tomato sauce with 1 cup of water. Stir until no longer lumpy. Cut chicken into bite size pieces.

Brownchicken, garlic, & onion. Add gravy tomato mixture & hot sauce. this is definitely to taste; know your fire level. Cook until chicken is done all theway through & gravy is thick. Add more water (about 1/4 c at a time) as necessary to prevent sticking & keep gravy from clumping up. And keep stirring this, too. Serve over cooked rice.
