1/4tsp.of chicken bouillon powder
2tbsp.of seasoned all purpose flourthe same flour you dredged your chicken in will be used for the gravy
2tbsp.of the oil you fried the chicken inif it’s too brown and burnt after frying substitute 2 tbsp. of butter
1-2cupsof all purpose flourfor dredging the chicken
3eggs
1/2cupof milkfor the egg wash
1cupof milk for the gravy
about 1/2 cup or so of vegetable or canola oil
Instructions
Clean your chicken breasts, pat them dry, and make sure they are room temperature. Then use parchment paper underneath and on top of the chicken cutlets and pound them out with a meat mallet or anything that can flatten the meat (rolling pin, muddle, bottle of wine) (about ¼ inch thick)
OR just buy chicken cutlets that are already thin
season the chicken breasts with 1/2 tbsp. of Lawry’s, 1/2 tbsp. of garlic powder, salt (just a light sprinkling of salt), and pepper (set aside about 20-30 minutes to let seasoning soak in the chicken
add a cup or so of flour to a shallow dish (like a pie plate) and add the other 1/2 of Lawry’s, the other half of garlic powder, salt, and cracked black pepper to the flour and whisk together
whisk together the eggs & milk in a bowl
dredge the chicken in this order:
flour
egg wash
flour (pack the flour in good on the last dredge and let the excess fall off)
when the oil is hot (at about medium -medium high heat) add the chicken and fry about 5 minutes or so each side. Fry until golden brown. Set aside on a rack once they are done
note- you are not deep frying. just fill the pan with enough oil so that the oil rises to about 1/2 the edge of the chicken
get rid of most of the oil, but keep about 2 tbsp. worth of oil in the pan
add 2 tbsp. of seasoned flour to the oil
whisk continuously for about 2-3 minutes
add in a cup or so of milk and whisk on a medium heat continuously until a nice thick gravy emerges
add more milk if needed to achieve the consistency you desire
add 1 tsp. of the chicken bouillon powder to the gravy and stir
add salt and pepper if needed
pour that gravy over the chicken and serve! ENJOY!
Notes
Chicken breasts: buy chicken cutlets at your grocery since they are already thin pieces. If you can’t find cutlets, purchase chicken breasts and butterfly them before you start preparing.
Cook ware: A skillet, this is my favorite to use for nearly everything since it goes from stovetop to oven- https://amzn.to/2PPPpMg
