Chicken Fried Bacon With Cream Gravy Food

FRIED CHICKEN WITH CREAMY GRAVY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat together 1/2 cup milk and egg. In a resealable plastic bag, mix together the flour, garlic salt, paprika, pepper and poultry seasoning. Place chicken in bag, seal, and shake to coat. Dip chicken in milk and egg mixture, then once more in flour mixture. Reserve any remaining flour mixture.
• In a large skillet, heat oil to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Place coated chicken in the hot oil, and brown on all sides. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking chicken until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet, and drain on paper towels.
• Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the frying oil. Over low heat, stir in 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour mixture. Stirring constantly, cook about 2 minutes. Whisk in chicken stock, scraping browned bits off bottom of skillet. Stir in 1 cup milk, and bring all to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Serve immediately with the chicken.

CRISPY FRIED PORK CHOPS W/BACON ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• 1. I had thick pork loin chops for this recipe, however, I didn't want them thick, so the 1st thing I did was I pounded them out to about 1/4 inch thickness. NOTE: these pounded out pretty big, feel free to split the chops before battering and frying.
• 2. Set up 3 bowls for battering: 1st bowl combine flour and seasonings to taste (with seasoning listed). 2nd bowl beat eggs with 2 tablespoons milk. 3rd bowl Panko bread crumbs with a sprinkle of salt if desired.
• 3. In a large skillet heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over a med/high heat, closer to a med heat than a high heat. Add more as needed.
• 4. Rinse pork and pat dry. Dredge in flour mixture 1st, then dip in egg mixture and last dredge in Panko bread crumbs.
• 5. Fry until a nice golden brown on both sides. Add add'l olive oil and butter as needed. NOTE: You are not deep frying, just keep the pan nicely coated. Remove chops from skillet once done and keep warm in a 170-degree oven. Reserve drippings for gravy.
• 6. Add onions and bacon pieces to the drippings and saute until bacon is crisp and onions are tender. Stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of the flour reserved from battering the chops. NOTE: you can add more seasoning if desired. Continue cooking until bubbly and then add chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir until thickened.
• 7. I cooked the egg noodles about 10 minutes before serving time. I did add a little butter to the noodles and I sprinkled a little salt and pepper on them once cooked and drained. You could use rice, mashed potatoes, or your choice of pasta.
• 8. Serve chops over noodles (or mashed potatoes or rice) and spoon gravy over chops. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH CREAM GRAVY

Steps:

• To make Chicken Fried Steak: Heat a deep, heavy skillet with at least 1/2-inch of oil to 340 degrees F. Alternatively, heat oil in a deep fryer to 340 degrees F.
• Cut steak into 1/2-inch thick slices to make 6 (6-ounce) portions and remove any fat or gristle. Pound it with the coarse side of a tenderizing mallet until it is double in size and half as thick. In a shallow bowl, make an egg wash by combining the eggs and milk. In another shallow bowl or pan, make a seasoned breading by combining the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the steak in the seasoned flour, dip it in the egg wash, and then return it to the flour and push the flour into the steak with your fingers so that there are no moist spots. Immediately slide the steak into the hot oil, in batches as necessary to prevent overcrowding, and fry on 1 side until golden and crispy; then turn over and cook the rest of the way. The steaks are done when you lift them with a pair of tongs and they are stiff, not floppy. Keep warm while making the gravy.
• To make Cream Gravy: Mix the canola oil and flour in a saucepan and cook this roux over medium heat until it looks grainy and becomes slightly golden in color, just a couple of minutes. Remove from heat. Add pepper and salt and mix well. Add milk, return the pan to the heat, and increase heat to high. Whisk until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Add hot water to thin, if gravy is too thick. Remove from heat to prevent scorching. The gravy should be as thick as pancake batter. Pour over chicken fried steak and serve.

CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN & CREAM GRAVY

Steps:

• Mix Flour, saltines, Lawry's, Tony Chachere's, black pepper, ground red pepper, and baking powder in a shallow dish. Mix eggs and milk in a separate dish. Dredge chicken cutlets in the flour mixture, then the milk mixture and again in the flour mixture. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the flour to adhere to the chicken. Pour oil 1/4 in deep in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add 2 TBSP bacon grease to the oil. After oil is heated, add the cutlets to the pan, cooking 4 at a time. Fry until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. (It took me between 10 - 12 minutes total for each batch, a meat thermometer helps!) Remove that batch of cutlets onto a paper towel covered pan or plate. Add more oil as needed and finish the second batch.
• Once the chicken is done cooking, it is time to make the gravy. Remove all but 1/4 cup of drippings in the pan, making sure to leave all the tiny bits in the bottom. Over medium heat, whisk in the flour until smooth then add in the milk and keep whisking until it starts to thicken. Add the salt and pepper and taste to adjust for seasonings. Serve the gravy over your chicken with some mashed potatoes and something GREEN!!!!

CHICKEN FRIED BACON WITH CREAM GRAVY

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Place half of this mixture in a large, flat baking dish. Pour half of the buttermilk in a separate large baking dish. Dip each bacon strip first in the buttermilk, then in the seasoned flour. Set the bacon aside on a rack for a few minutes to allow the flour to absorb some of the buttermilk to form a good coating. For an extra crispy coating, dredge the bacon once more in just the flour mixture. Heat about 1 1/4 inches of vegetable oil in a large frying pan (or in a deep fryer) until a thermometer inserted reads 350 degrees F. Fry the bacon, a few strips at a time (don't crowd the pan or fryer), until the strips are golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Drain the bacon on a rack. Continue until all of the bacon is fried. Allow the bacon to cool for a few minutes, then serve with the Cream Gravy.
• 2. Cream Gravy Put drippings or butter in a sauce pan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour until well blended; cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbly. Remove from heat and gradually add milk whisking constantly; return to heat and whisk until the gravy thickens; Whisk in the cream, salt and pepper.
