Chicken Fried Chicken

Drew was craving Rock Bottom the other night. Every month or so he pines for their Chicken Fried Chicken. I have to admit, it is pretty good. But because I'm trying to be more adventurous in the kitchen, I offered to make it instead. So here we go!



Ingredients:

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• Cooking oil
• Salt, pepper and paprika, to taste

Directions:

• Beat together the egg and milk, set aside
• Sprinkle desired amount of salt, pepper and paprika on both sides of the chicken breasts
• Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, shaking off the excess
• Then dip each piece in the egg/milk mixture, then back in the flour again
• Set chicken pieces aside on a piece of wax paper
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes (oil should be 1/2 inch deep)
• Once oil is hot enough, carefully place chicken breast into the hot oil
• Fry chicken breasts on both sides, turning once, until golden brown
• Reduce heat to low, cover and cook 15-18 minutes until chicken pieces are done through
• Drain on paper towels

Serve with your choice of side (gosh we are on a fry kick! Bad bad bad!) and gravy. Or if you're like me, smothered in gravy... mmmmm!
