Pat chicken breasts dry, then season both sides with salt and pepper.

Heat 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high until foaming, then sear chicken 6 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 3
Transfer chicken to a plate, reduce heat to medium, add remaining butter, and whisk in flour until light golden, ~1 min.
Step 4
Pour in broth slowly while whisking to break up lumps, then simmer 2 minutes until the gravy thickens and coats a spoon.
