Steps:

• Start off by making sure that all of the chicken is nice and clean.

• Coat the chicken with the seasoned flour, and make sure you coat all surfaces.
• Reserve the seasoned flour
• Pour 1/4 cup of vegetable oil into a large pan, then place the plan over medium heat.
• Start adding in the chicken, but be sure to not over crowd the pan ( use a pan big enough to hold all of the chicken).

• Once the chicken is nice and browned, remove it from the pan. Leave the oil in the pan.
• Toss in the onions, and cook them for about 2 minutes, then add in the garlic. Once the garlic is in the pan let it cook for an additional minute, then remove the onions and garlic from the pan.

• Next pour in 2 cups of chicken broth. Whisk in while pouring in the broth. Make sure there aren't any lumps.
• Let the gravy cook for about 2 minutes ( still on medium heat), then pour in 1 cup of milk into the pan.
• Let the creamy gravy cook for about 3 minutes, then start adding the chicken back into the pan, as well as the onions and garlic.
• Make sure all of the chicken is coated with the creamy gravy.
• Place a lid on the pan, then let the chicken cook for 30-35 minutes. Be sure to occasionally turn the chicken.
