1 1/2 lbs chicken cutlets, cut into chunks

  • Dip cutlets slowly into pan (I use a deep sauteer as a makeshift!) & carefully flip once undersides are a light golden brown.

  • Enjoy. It looks & tastes just like restaurant-fried chicken!

COUNTRY FRIED CHICKEN WITH GRAVY - LOW CARB



Country Fried Chicken With Gravy - Low Carb image

This is another recipe I got from George Stella's cookbook & tweaked for my needs. Note: Looking at my bag of soy flour I see that Food.com's nutrients facts don't show any fiber in it, which it has. So by my calculation there should be 10 net carbs per serving not 15.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

canola oil, for frying
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons water
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups soy flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons sour cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix together the ingredients for the breading mix, set aside.
  • Place the chicken on a cutting board then use a meat tenderizing mallet to pound the chicken very thin.
  • Heat about an 1 tbsp of oil in a large frying pan. Then whisk together the eggs & water to make the egg wash.
  • Dip each piece of chicken into the breading mix then into the egg wash & back into the breading.
  • Once completely covered gently place the chicken into the hot oil. Fry for 2 minutes then flip & continue to fry for another 2 minutes. The final result should be golden brown & crispy on the outside.
  • Place the chicken onto a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. then remove them to regular serving plates.
  • Next start the gravy by adding all the ingredients (except the sour cream) into pot. Cook over high heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce is reduced by a third.
  • Take off the heat then stir in the sour cream, if using. Pour over the chicken & serve immediately.

1/4 teaspoon herbes de provence, dried
2 cups Crisco shortening

Tips:

  • Use a light hand with the breading: Too much breading will make the chicken greasy and heavy.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the chicken from sticking and burning.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help ensure that the chicken is cooked through without burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the chicken will not cook evenly.
