Fried Chicken Strips in Gravy

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb chicken breast strips
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 cup breadcrumbs
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 cup chicken broth
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 to taste salt and pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Season the 1.5 lb chicken strips with salt and pepper. Set up three shallow dishes: 1 cup flour, 2 beaten eggs, and 1.5 cups breadcrumbs.

2. 2

   Dredge each strip in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing to coat. Place on a plate.

3. 3

   Heat 0.5 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry strips in batches until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Pour out excess oil, leaving about 1 tbsp. Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp of the remaining flour, whisking until bubbly, about 1 minute.

5. 5

   Slowly whisk in 2 cups chicken broth, scraping up browned bits. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Return the fried chicken strips to the skillet, turning to coat in the gravy. Serve hot, with lemon wedges if desired.
