Southerners have known for generations that, if done right, gravy is a wonderful sauce in its own right. The milk gravy in this recipe is a classic (and basic) part of southern cooking.
 

Ingredients

  • 2 whole chicken breasts
  • 4 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • For the gravy:
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup milk (or cream)

Directions

  1. 1. Remove the breast bones from the meat and divide into fillets and tenders. Wash and reserve the chicken pieces.
  2. 2. Place a large heavy skillet over medium heat; add the oil and let it come up to temperature.
  3. 3. In a bowl combine the salt with the flour; mix well. Dredge the wet chicken pieces in the seasoned flour and place them in the skillet. Fry slowly until tender and brown (fully cooked). Transfer the chicken to a serving platter.
  4. 4. To make the gravy, add or remove oil from the hot pan so that you have two tablespoons left. Add two tablespoons flour, salt and pepper; stir until well blended. Add the stock and milk, stirring until a thick gravy is formed.
  5. 5. Serve with a green vegetable and fried grits (polenta) with gravy over the chicken and grits.
