Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
Oil for frying
For the Gravy:
2 tablespoons reserved frying oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
- In a shallow dish, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In another dish, whisk together eggs and 1 cup of milk.
- Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Dip the flour-coated chicken in the egg mixture, then dredge it again in the flour mixture for a double coating.
- Fry the Chicken:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the hot oil.
- Fry until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 4-5 minutes per side.
- Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Make the Gravy:
- Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the frying oil from the skillet.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of flour and cook for about 1 minute over medium heat to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Continue to cook and stir until the gravy thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
Serve the fried chicken with creamy gravy poured over the top or on the side for dipping.
