Directions:
Cut up potatoes into large thumb size dices.
Boil on med. boil for 10 minutes in 2 cups of water.
Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, basil and bullion.
Turn heat down to low and add butter.
Add chicken
While stirring, add flour in a little at a time.(helps to hold back a little water and mix flour with water then add to mixture)
Keep stirring softly until all the flour is all dissolved and it makes thick gravy.
By now the potatoes will just be starting to loose their square shape and start to look more rounded, but still firm in the middle. This is exactly what you want because the outer edges of the potatoes that mix with the flour water. The dish will turn out to be 1/3 gravy and 1/3 potatoes 1/3 chicken.
You serve each person a cottage style bowl of their very own, with a huge wedge of warm crusted bread.
