Grilled Chicken with a Mushroom Onion Gravy

This recipe features tender, seasoned chicken breasts served with a savory mushroom sauce over a bed of rice. The chicken breasts are halved to create thinner cuts, then rubbed with a homemade all-purpose seasoning blend made from salt, paprika, brown sugar, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried basil. After searing the chicken to a perfect golden brown, they are set aside while mushrooms and onions are sautéed in the same pan, absorbing the flavorful drippings.

A creamy sauce is then created by mixing cream of mushroom soup with milk, simmered until it reaches a smooth consistency. The dish is assembled by placing the cooked rice, prepared in chicken stock for extra flavor, onto plates, topping it with the grilled chicken, and finishing with a generous helping of the mushroom sauce. The result is a comforting, hearty meal with a balance of flavors and textures.
