1/2 tsp each of salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme

Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make them thinner. Season both sides of the chicken with a small amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Remove the cooked chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and mix with the gravy. Serve over mashed potatoes.
# Tips:

Always cook chicken to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F using a meat thermometer.

Thinly sliced chicken breasts reduce cooking time significantly.

Use a hand mixer for shredding if preferred, but avoid scratching non-stick pans.
