Chicken Fried Chicken with Cream Gravy

I had some chicken breasts in the fridge and had no idea what to do with them.  I got on Pinterest and saw a pin, "50 things to do with chicken breasts".  I saw a picture of chicken fried chicken.  I thought, "I can do that!".  So, I did.  I also made cream gravy.  Now, gravy and I haven't been friends in the past.  I have tried several times but I just never make it right.  The last time I made it it came out brown.  My mom used to make it all the time.  She used a green plastic cup to measure the milk.  I didn't inherit the "gravy makin' " gene.  I was watching Trisha Yearwood's cooking show on Food Network and she said the secret formula is 4-4-2.  I will never forget this formula because it made the perfect gravy!!  Now, the recipe I am going to post is going to be very vague.  You see, I don't measure when I cook unless I'm following a recipe or baking.

Chicken Fried Chicken
chicken breasts (as many as you need)
canola oil (or any oil for frying)
garlic powder
kosher salt
black pepper
flour (for coating the chicken)
eggs, beaten (I used 1 for 2 large chicken breasts)

Place your chicken breasts in a Ziplock baggie.  Pound them to approx. 1/2 in thickness.  This will ensure that they cook evenly and quickly without burning the crust.  Season both sides with pepper, salt and garlic powder.  Put enough oil in a cast iron pan to come up about a 1/4 inch up the side.  You don't want to cover your chicken in oil.  Heat on med heat.  The oil is ready when you drip a little piece of flour in the pan and it sizzles.  While the oil is heating, coat the chicken in flour, then beaten egg, then flour again.  Drop in the hot oil and fry until golden brown. 

Cream Gravy (4-4-2)
4 Tbsp of the oil
4 Tbsp of flour
2 cups of milk
salt to taste
pepper to taste

Over med-low heat put oil in a pan and add the flour.  Stir with a whisk until the mixture bubbles.  You want to cook out the flour taste.  Slowly whisk in the milk until combined.  Add salt and pepper. Continue to cook until it thickens.  It should only take a few minutes.

Lemony Cream Butter Cake

 Creaminess mixed with light cake. A slightly crunchy crust and bursting with lemon flavor.
This one was a little controversal for me.  I thought it was a little bitter. I think I put too much lemon zest.  My husband on the other hand loved it and said he didn't taste the bitterness.  He smokes so he's not a reliable source.  Can you make it and tell me how it turns out for you? Also, don't make this if you want something sweet now because it takes about 30 minutes to prepare, 30 minutes to bake and several hours to cool and chill in the fridge. Here is the recipe.

Mexican Corn on the Cob & Crockpot Chicken Tacos

My Mexican style corn on the cob is good, good, good! Grilled corn smeared with a little sour cream, topped with parmesean cheese, dusted with chili powder, salt and pepper and a drizzle of lime juice to make it sing. No recipe to post. Just add the previous ingredients to your taste! 

Mexican Corn on the Cob

This recipe was also adapted from a recipe on Pinterest. The picture had one recipe but the link had a totally diffrent recipe so I tried my own and man were they delicious!! We will definately make them again.

Crock Pot Chicken Tacos

1 pkg chicken taco seasoning
1 pkg ranch dressing mix
1 cup chicken broth
3 small or 2 large chicken breasts

Combine at powder mixes with the chicken broth in the crock pot. Stir. Add chicken breasts and cook on low for about 4 hours.  Shred and enjoy! Trust me these are awesome!

Roasted Corn Chowder with Chicken, Lime & Cilantro

This stuff is gooood! The lime and cilantro really make it pop.  It is clean, fresh and light but hearty at the same time.

This is the recipe.  Just FYI I didn't add the agave syrup at the end and I used 1 tsp of chili powder and it was perfect!

Blow Pop cupcakes

Made these babies for Easter.  They were delicious! Strawberry cake with Bubble Gum Marshmallow Buttercream. Don't they sound awesome?

Here is the recipe. Please note I had to add an additional tablespoon of milk to the buttercream. I also didn't put the strawberry marshmallow in the center only because I'm lazy :)

Boyfriend Approved Spicy Black Bean Burgers

I have had this recipe on my to-do list since last summer.  I never got around to making them and boy am I sorry I didn't make them before now! Very few ingredients and packed with flavor. These are FANTASTIC and I will for sure make them again.  I omited the flax seed and added an extra teaspoon of panko and they were perfect.  Not very spicy, but I think that depends on the jalepeno you get.  Some are spicier than others.  This is where to get the recipe.
