Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Butterfly the chicken breasts and pound them to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Dredging Station

    Set up a dredging station with three bowls: one with flour, one with buttermilk and beaten eggs, and one empty for the final dredge.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Dip each chicken breast first in the flour, then in the buttermilk mixture, and finally back in the flour. Ensure they are well-coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

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

  5. 5

    Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

    Cook potatoes until tender, mash them, and mix with butter, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  6. 6

    Make the Gravy

    In the same skillet used for frying chicken, add butter and flour to make a roux. Gradually whisk in milk and cook until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

  7. 7

    Fry the Brussels Sprouts

    Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts. In a separate pan, heat butter and sauté the Brussels until crispy and golden, about 5-6 minutes.

  8. 8

    Bake the Biscuits

    Prepare the biscuit mix according to package instructions, adding milk as needed. Bake until golden brown.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Plate the fried chicken with a side of mashed potatoes, country gravy, sautéed Brussels sprouts, and a biscuit.
