Lynnie's Fried Chicken

In our house, fried chicken is eaten several times each month. It's just something that feels so comforting with a heaping amount of mashed potatoes, country gravy and corn.

For yesterday's Sunday dinner with the parents, we made 3 pans full of fried chicken. I barely had any burners left! It's a good chance to use all of my All-Clad, though! :)

This chicken is so simple to make, and it becomes deliciously crispy after frying it!
I know the picture below isn't quite the fanciest, and it truly doesn't do this chicken justice, but I think it sums up how to feed a family that loves a good home-cooked meal!

Total Time: 25 minutes

Yield: This recipe will serve 4 

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 cup flour
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions:

1. Combine garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika and flour in a shallow dish.
2. Pour milk into a separate shallow dish.
3. Pour vegetable oil into the bottom of a large frying pan, enough to coat well. Turn the burner onto medium
4. Dredge chicken in milk, and then coat in flour mixture. Make sure to coat well, covering every spot! (If you want to skip the milk step, I have actually run the chicken under water, so that the coating will stick. It works wonderfully!)
5. Place chicken in frying pan and fry for about 8 minutes on each side. If the coating is getting dark before the insides are cooked through, turn the heat down to medium-low.

I love to serve this with country gravy, mashed potatoes and corn! Enjoy!!
