👨‍🍳 Instructions

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Season chicken pieces with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

Dredge in 3/4 cup flour, place in the skillet, and brown on all sides.

Set chicken aside, and drain skillet, reserving about 1 tablespoon butter.

Reduce skillet heat to medium-low, and stir in onions, celery, garlic, and carrots.

Cook 5 minutes, until tender.

Stir in the flour, and cook 5 minutes more.

Pour in the chicken broth, season with cayenne pepper, and remaining salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low.

Return chicken to the skillet, cover, and continue cooking 30 minutes, until chicken juices run clear and gravy has thickened.
