Instructions
Combine ½ cup chicken broth & ½ cup milk in a glass measure cup with a spout. In a small saucepan, heat butter until melted. Whisk in flour until it clumps up. SLOWLY add chicken broth/milk mixture, whisking briskly so that the mixture does not clump up. Continue until the liquid is added & the mixture boils & thickens.
Remove from heat. Add additional ½ cup of chicken broth, dried onion, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, sugar & cinnamon. Pour mixture into a small crock pot. Add chicken breasts & let cook, on low for 4-6 hours or until fully cooked.
Remove chicken breasts, shred, & place back into gravy. Taste & adjust seasonings if needed. Serve over cooked brown rice with desired toppings: peas, fresh pineapple, olives, cheese, coconut flakes, chow mein noodles, etc.
*No crock pot method: Boil chicken in water for 10-15 minutes or until done. Remove from water & dice chicken with a knife. Make sauce as above & add cooked chicken. Bring chicken & gravy mixture to a boil. Serve over rice with desired toppings.
