AI GeneratedMika demonstrates how to prepare a healthier version of traditional soul food smothered chicken and gravy. By using boneless skinless chicken thighs, shallow frying with avocado oil, and omitting the flour coating on the meat, she creates a nutritious meal served with basmati rice and fresh green beans that maintains traditional flavors without the heaviness of deep-frying.
