Notes
To make this with uncooked chicken just cook 1" chunks of chicken in the oil until it just begins to brown, then add the flour, salt and pepper to the pan and stir with a spoon (instead of a whisk) then proceed with the recipe. The flour will thicken the gravy just the same as it would if you added it to the pan of oil. I usually use anywhere from 8-16 ounces of chicken.
We used 3 cups shredded chicken for the dish you see in the photos. If you want more gravy then use less chicken.
Use a coated whisk if using a non-stick pan so it doesn't scratch it.
