Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • salt, pepper, garlic powder (for chicken)
  • 2/3 cup of oil
  • 2 TBSP of butter
  • 1 cup of flour
  • 2 tsp each of salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and steak seasoning (for flour mixture)
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup of grease from frying chicken
  • 1/3 cup of flour
  • 3 cups of milk
  • salt and pepper to taste (for gravy)

Instructions

  • Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make them thinner. Season chicken on both sides with some salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2/3 cup of oil and 1 tbsp of butter to the skillet.
  • While the pan is heating up mix together 1 cup of flour, 2 tsp each of salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and steak seasoning.
  • In a separate bowl or container mix together 1 cup of milk and 1 egg. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, egg mixture, and back in the flour mixture.
  • Once the oil is hot fry the chicken for a few minutes on each side until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Cook chicken until it reaches 165 degrees with an internal meat thermometer.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a plate covered with paper towels to absorb any extra grease.
  • Pour out all but about 1/3 cup of the oil. To make the gravy add 1/3 cup of flour to the oil making a roux. Once the oil and flour are well incorporated let cook for at least one minute.
  • Add 3 cups of milk and keep stirring constantly. Add salt and pepper to taste. Once thickened serve over fried chicken.
