Country Fried Chicken and Gravy

Step 1

Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make them thinner. Season chicken on both sides with some salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2/3 cup of oil and 1 tbsp of butter to the skillet.

Step 3

While the pan is heating up mix together 1 cup of flour, 2 tsp each of salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and steak seasoning.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a plate covered with paper towels to absorb any extra grease.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Add 3 cups of milk and keep stirring constantly. Add salt and pepper to taste. Once thickened serve over fried chicken.
