Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (low-sodium)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Rinse chicken breasts under cold water and pat dry.
- Combine buttermilk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a bowl. Soak chicken breasts in this mixture for at least 30 minutes.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each chicken breast: coat in flour, dip in eggs, and roll in panko breadcrumbs.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat vegetable oil until shimmering (about 350°F).
- Fry chicken breasts for about 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- For the gravy, remove excess oil from the skillet; add flour to create a roux. Gradually whisk in chicken broth followed by heavy cream until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
