For Brown Gravy

Method

For Chicken Cutlets

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the boneless chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken breast first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure the chicken is well-coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken cutlets. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

For Grilled Onions

  1. 5

    Slice the Onion

    Thinly slice the large onion.

  2. 6

    Cook the Onions

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.

For Brown Gravy

  1. 7

    Make the Roux

    In the same skillet used for frying chicken, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for about 2 minutes until golden.

  2. 8

    Add Liquid

    Gradually whisk in chicken broth and soy sauce, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 9

    Season the Gravy

    Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
