Fried Chicken With Gravy & Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients for chicken:
6 chicken breasts pounded and thawed
1 sleeve saltine crackers
1 cup all purpose flour
4 tbsp. poultry seasoning ( Mrs Dash Salt Free Chicken )
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk ( I used skim milk )
2-3 cups frying oil ( I used regular vegetable, but it's your choice )

Directions:
Crush saltines and mix in with flour and seasonings. I like to put mine in a big plastic ziplock bag for easy shaking. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl combine eggs & milk. Wisk till mixed thoroughly. Baste chicken breast with egg mixture, then place in bag and shake with coating. Place in heated frying oil. I only turn the chicken once. So when I feel like it's ready, I'll flip it and make sure the other side get's done. This is an estimation and eyeballing. I would say that it's in the frying oil for about 15 minutes depending on how thin you have pounded your chicken breasts.

If you reserve 1/4 cup of pan drippings, add in 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup milk, and salt & pepper to taste you can make your gravy. Just make sure you really beat it with a whisk or the drippings will separate and it will look like an oily mess.

Mashed potatoes are your call. I've done them both ways ( instant and the old fashioned way ). The ones pictured above were instant. Old fashioned just involves peeling, boiling, lots of milk, butter, and mashing. It's pretty simple.
