Method

Chicken Fried Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness with a meat mallet. This helps them cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    In a shallow dish, place the flour. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and dredge in the flour, coating thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.

  2. 6

    Cook the Potatoes

    Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  3. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Chicken Gravy

  1. 8

    Make the Roux

    In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.

  2. 9

    Add the Broth

    Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 10

    Season the Gravy

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well and keep warm until ready to serve.

Vegetable Side

  1. 11

    Prepare the Vegetables

    If using green beans, trim the ends. If using corn, heat in a pot with a little water until warmed through.

  2. 12

    Cook the Vegetables

    Boil or steam the green beans until tender, about 5 minutes, or simply serve the corn warm.

Dinner Roll

  1. 13

    Serve the Rolls

    Warm the dinner rolls in the oven or microwave before serving.
