Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat cooking oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Brown the chicken breast halves in the hot oil until golden on both sides, then set aside.
  3. In a large pot, combine 5 cups of water, chicken broth, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bring the broth mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour with the remaining 1 cup of water until smooth and lump-free.
  6. Pour the flour mixture into the boiling broth while stirring constantly.
  7. Continue to cook and stir the sauce for about 2 minutes, or until it thickens to a gravy-like consistency.
  8. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the half-and-half until fully incorporated.
  9. Arrange the browned chicken breasts in five greased 13x9-inch baking pans.
  10. Pour approximately 3 1/2 cups of the cream sauce evenly over the chicken in each pan.
  11. Cover the pans with foil and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177ðC) for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken juices run clear.
  12. Serve the hot chicken and sauce over a bed of cooked rice.
