Steamed Broccoli

Method

Chicken Fried Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour in one, buttermilk in the second, and beaten eggs in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, then dip in the buttermilk, and finally coat with the beaten eggs followed by another dip in flour to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

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

Country Style Gravy

  1. 5

    Make the Gravy

    Using the drippings from the fried chicken, add all-purpose flour to the skillet over medium heat. Whisk continuously to create a roux, cooking for about 1-2 minutes.

  2. 6

    Add Broth

    Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until smooth. Continue to cook, whisking frequently until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and black pepper.

Garlic Gouda Mashed Potatoes

  1. 7

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into chunks. Place in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 8

    Prepare the Garlic

    In a small saucepan, add the garlic cloves and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes to soften.

  3. 9

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the softened garlic, butter, milk, Gouda cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Steamed Broccoli

  1. 10

    Steam the Broccoli

    In a steamer basket over boiling water, add the broccoli florets. Cover and steam for about 4-6 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Season with salt to taste.
