Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture until fully coated.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken breasts and fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Cook the Corn

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add corn on the cob and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and serve with butter.

  4. 4

    Make Mashed Potatoes

    Peel and chop potatoes, then boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash with butter and milk until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Prepare Gravy

    In a saucepan, use the leftover oil from frying chicken to make a roux by adding equal parts flour and chicken broth. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly.
