Ingredients

1 rotisserie chicken (meat shredded or chopped)
2 tablespoon olive oil
0.5 yellow onion (medium, diced)
2 clove garlic (minced)
0.25 cup all-purpose flour
2.5 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
2 package pre-made mashed potatoes
1 package frozen green beans

Instructions

Shred or chop the meat from 1 rotisserie chicken and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 diced yellow onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add 2 minced cloves garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Sprinkle in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in 2 1/2 cups chicken broth, ensuring no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon dried thyme. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Add the shredded rotisserie chicken to the gravy and stir to coat. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.
While the gravy simmers, prepare 2 containers pre-made mashed potatoes and 1 bag frozen green beans according to package directions.
Serve the chicken and gravy over the creamy mashed potatoes, with green beans on the side.

Notes

A splash of heavy cream or milk can be added to the gravy for extra richness. For a touch of color, garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
