Step 1

Combine 1 cup flour with salt, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper in a very shallow bowl. Set aside.

Step 2

In another shallow bowl, combine the beaten eggs and 1/2 cup milk; set aside.

Step 3

Spread plastic wrap on a large cutting board. Place chicken on the plastic wrap, then top with another piece of plastic wrap. Pound each piece of chicken until it’s as flat as you can get it.

Step 4

Dip each chicken breast in the milk mixture, then coat with the flour mixture by dredging on the shallow bowl.

Step 5

Pour vegetable oil a quarter-inch deep in a heavy frying pan and heat over medium heat. The oil will be hot enough if it sizzles when a drop of water is added to the pan. Place the chicken in the pan and cook until browned on one side. Turn the chicken over to cook the other side.

Step 6

Once browned, check internal temp (165 F), remove chicken and grain off grease on a paper towel.

Step 7

Add butter to the drippings in the pan and mix until butter is melted. Stir in 6 tablespoons of flour and cook and stir over medium heat until the flour browns, about 5 min.

Step 8

Add 3 cups milk and stir until mixture is thickened. Season with salt and pepper and pour over warm chicken. Serve with mashed potatoes.
