Fried Chicken With Peppery Gravy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, pounded to about 1/2-inch thick
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup vegetable oil

Preparation

Combine milk and lemon juice in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper and cayenne.
Dip chicken in milk and then flour. Reserve leftover flour and milk for gravy.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Let oil get really hot before adding chicken! Fry chicken about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from pan.
Add remaining flour to skillet with pan drippings. Cook, stirring constantly over medium-high heat until flour is golden, about 1 minute.
Gradually stir in remaining milk. Cook, wisking well until gravy is smooth and thickened, which should be about 2 minutes.
Spoon gravy over chicken and serve!
