Step 1

Begin by flattening the chicken breast with a mallet until even. Season generously.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, add flour and season generously with all purpose seasoning or salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, and 1 packet of sazon. Reserve 1/4 cup of this seasoned flour for your gravy.

Step 3

Slice onion into strips and set aside. Dredge chicken in flour and set aside while you get your oil up to temp. Heat skillet over medium heat and add frying oil and get the oil up to 350 degrees.

Step 4

Fry chicken for about 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and then remove from the skillet. Drain oil from skillet (or use a clean skillet) - reserve 1/4 cup of the oil for your gravy. Add butter to the skillet and saute onions until tender. Add chicken base and garlic paste. Add in the 1/4 cup of oil and then begin to add the flour to create your roux for the gravy. Cook the raw flour taste out (about 2 minutes)

Step 5

Next, add in your chicken stock and bring to a boil. Once you reach a boil, decrease the heat and reduce to a simmer. (This should thicken the gravy) Add in the soy sauce and heavy cream. Simmer for 3-4 minutes and season to taste. Next, add the chicken back to the gravy and simmer until the chicken reaches 165 degrees internal temp.
