Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Season Chicken with Salt and Black pepper.
Combine all Chicken ingredients (flour, paprika, garlic powder) in a bowl. Dredge chicken pieces in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Fry chicken in 350°F (175°C) oil for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
For Gravy: Melt Butter in a saucepan. Whisk in Flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually whisk in Chicken broth until smooth. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until thickened. Season with Black pepper.
For Mashed Potatoes: Boil Potatoes until tender. Drain and mash. Add Milk and Butter, and continue mashing until smooth. Season with Salt.
For Green Beans: Steam or boil Green beans until tender-crisp. Toss with Butter.
