- 2 tsp dried rosemary, or thyme

Optional:

Instructions
Gravy:
- Prepare the sauce first. In a saucepot or deep skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the flour, Italian seasoning, and onion, and garlic powders. Whisk until it forms a roux and allow to roast briefly until it forms a light caramel color.
- Add tomato paste and roast briefly.
- Deglaze with red wine and reduce briefly.
- Add chicken broth and bring sauce to a simmer. Continue simmering until the sauce has thickened and reduced by half, roughly 10 minutes.
Chicken:
- Cook the chickens next. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- In a wide skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and place the chicken skin side down.
- Sear for roughly 3 to 5 minutes until the skin turns crisp and golden, then flip to sear the other side.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, add butter, garlic, and dried thyme or rosemary. Allow the butter to melt, then baste the chickens frequently while the chicken cooks.
- Allow the chicken to fry in the butter roughly 5 to 7 minutes, until fully cooked. Baste frequently.
- Once the gravy has thickened, season with salt and pepper. Adjust accordingly and set aside.
- Once the chickens have cooled, place it onto a plate with some vegetables and potatoes.
- Pour the gravy into a serving container, garnish the plate with parsley, and serve together.
