Method
 

Instructions
  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then cook chicken for about 5 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  2. Remove cooked chicken and set aside. Lower heat to medium-low, add butter and chicken base to the skillet, stirring until melted.
  3. In a small bowl, combine flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add this mixture to the pan to form a roux; stir continuously for about 30 seconds.
  4. Gradually pour in chicken stock while scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate flavor. Add water and whisk until smooth; simmer until thickened.
  5. Shred the cooked chicken if desired and return it to the gravy along with any juices. Let simmer for a few minutes before serving over mashed potatoes.
