  • Total Time: 75 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken in buttermilk for at least one hour.
  2. In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a separate dish, whisk the eggs to create an egg wash.
  4. Coat each piece of marinated chicken in the egg mixture, then dredge it in the flour mixture.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  6. Fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side until it is golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  7. For the gravy, melt butter in a separate pan, whisk in flour to form a roux, then gradually add chicken broth and heavy cream until thickened.
  8. Serve the fried chicken drizzled with warm gravy.

Notes

Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and do not overcrowd the skillet while frying.
