Chicken With Quick Citrus Pan Gravy Food

CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN WITH PAN GRAVY

Steps:

• 1. Pound chicken breasts between two pieces of cling wrap with a meat tenderizer or a rolling pin until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
• 2. I like to cut my large pieces into smaller ones for easier flipping in the frying pan and to make plate friendly portion sizes. I cut the large pieces into 3 small ones. Or leave them monster huge. It's up to you. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
• 3. In a shallow dish combine the flour, garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and cayenne pepper (the seasoning amount is just a estimates) so feel free to add more or less to your liking. In another shallow dish combine the milk and egg. Beat the egg with a fork or whisk until it's completely combined with milk.
• 4. Set up your assembly line. 1. chicken 2. wet mixture 3. dry mixture 4. a clean plate for a coated chicken Dip the chicken in the wet mixture, then the dry mixture, wet then dry again. Each piece will be dipped 4 times before making it to the clean plate at the end.
• 5. Heat the canola oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Use enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan, but not completely cover the chicken when it's added. Make sure it's good and hot before adding the chicken. Don't use high heat for the oil or it will burn the coating of the chicken before the inside cooks through. Fry the chicken in batches for about 3-31/2 minutes per side. When you flip it, the coating should be golden and crispy. If it's not, it's not ready to flip. Place the cooked pieces on a paper towel lined plate. The finished chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165
• 6. After frying all the of the chicken , pour off the oil into a measuring cup, keeping as many of the brown bits in the pan as you can. Put about 1/4 cup of the oil back into the pan and add 1/3 cup flour, whisking to make a roux. Continue whisking the oil/flour mixture, scraping the brown bits up and continue cooking until the roux is a nice golden brown color.
• 7. Slowly add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly until all the milk has been combined. Add additional milk until the gravy is the consistency that you like. Then season, season, season with salt and pepper. Use lots of pepper and salt to taste. If you don't add enough seasoning , the gravy will just taste like liquid flour which is just plain yucky.
• 8. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes and slather the chicken and taters with the pan gravy.

• Place pan of drippings mixture over low heat and toast flour until light brown and mixture gives off a nutty fragrance, about 5 minutes.
• Drizzle about 1/3 cup cold chicken stock at a time into pan drippings, whisking each addition of stock into mixture until thoroughly combined. Continue whisking, scraping any browned pan drippings from the bottom of the pan into gravy; bring to a simmer. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until gravy is thick and flour has combined with the liquid, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Adjust thickness of gravy; if too thick, whisk in a little more stock. If gravy is too thin, continue to simmer, whisking constantly, until reduced and thickened, about 10 more minutes. For the smoothest texture, strain gravy before serving.

SIMPLE PAN GRAVY

Steps:

• While the turkey rests, make the gravy: Use a fine-mesh strainer to strain the turkey pan drippings into a medium bowl, leaving behind any browned bits, or "fond," stuck to the pan. Press down on the solids to get as much liquid as possible into the bowl; discard the solids. Pour the liquid into a measuring cup or a fat separator and allow the fat to rise to the top. Meanwhile, place the roasting pan across two burners over medium-low heat. When the pan is sizzling, add the wine and stir, scraping up all the fond in the pan. Turn off the heat and pour the wine mixture through a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl.
• Ladle or spoon off the fat from the pan drippings and discard; set aside the jus. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Then sprinkle in the flour and whisk until the flour is completely incorporated and light golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Slowly add the wine mixture, whisking constantly. When it has fully absorbed into the roux, slowly add the reserved jus. Small additions of liquid and continuous whisking are the keys to smooth gravy.
• Finish the gravy by adding turkey or chicken stock a ½ cup at a time and whisking; taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as you go. (You'll need a total of 2½-3 cups of liquid to make the gravy.) When the gravy is thick yet pourable and perfectly seasoned to taste, transfer it to a bowl or gravy boat and serve immediately.
