Fried Chicken with Creamy Gravy





1/2 cup milk


1 egg, beaten


1 cup all-purpose flour


2 teaspoons garlic salt


1 teaspoon paprika


1 teaspoon ground black pepper


1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning


1 (4 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces


3 cups vegetable oil


1 cup chicken broth


1 cup milk





In a medium bowl, beat together 1/2 cup milk and egg. In a resealable plastic bag, mix together the flour, garlic salt, paprika, pepper and poultry seasoning. Place chicken in bag, seal, and shake to coat. Dip chicken in milk and egg mixture, then once more in flour mixture. Reserve any remaining flour mixture.


In a large skillet, heat oil to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Place coated chicken in the hot oil, and brown on all sides. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking chicken until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet, and drain on paper towels.


Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the frying oil. Over low heat, stir in 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour mixture. Stirring constantly, cook about 2 minutes. Whisk in chicken stock, scraping browned bits off bottom of skillet. Stir in 1 cup milk, and bring all to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Serve immediately with the chicken.


Serves 8.

Wipe out the skillet, return to stove, and pour in vegetable oil. Stir in mushrooms and onion, and cook until onion is soft and translucent.


When the potatoes are done, drain water, and place potatoes in a large bowl. Mash in butter and ranch dressing. With a potato masher or electric mixer, continue to mash until the potatoes are smooth. Stir in the mushrooms, onions, and crumbled bacon.

****************************Has anybody got cheap,quick to cook,healthy family recipes?
Chicken burgers are always good and easy to make healthy.


I grill Turkish bread instead of normal rolls as it is lighter and thinner, sometimes I baste the chicken in Portugese spices but the kidlets might not like this so much. I put cheese, lettuce, tomato, avocado, a smear of sweet chili sauce (again, optional for kidlets) on one half and mayo on the other half of the bread.





Or if the kids don't mind tuna, throw together in a saucepan a can of tomatoes, a tablespoon of tomato paste, a little garlic and mixed herbs, a diced onion and a can of tuna. Serve over pasta. Shouldn't take any longer to make than it takes the pasta to cook.
I make a lot of quick stovetop casseroles.





To do this I keep on hand:





sour cream


cheese


cream of mushroom or chicken soup


whole grain pasta


instant brown rice


tuna or frozen chicken tenderloins or hamburger


petite diced canned tomatoes


garlic


onions (frozen prechopped work well or green onions are fast to chop)


tomato paste


Vermouth


frozen veggies





So, if I need a quick meal I decide if I want a pasta or rice casserole and measure out how much I need, and put the water onto boil.





Creamy Casserole


Then I saute hamburger or chicken (cut into chunks) in frying pan. When browned drain excess grease and remove meat.


Put onions in pan and saute (scraping up any fond on pan)


When soft and translucent, add 1/2 - 2 teaspoons of garlic


saute for 30 seconds then add a little vermouth


Then add a can of creamed soup and some sour cream


When pasta or rice is done, drain excess water and mix all ingredients together (add as much cheese at this time as desired) Stir over medium heat until cheese is melted and all ingredients are incorporated. You can add any frozen veggies you like that you've warmed up in microwave at the end. Salt and pepper to taste.


(For tuna casserole skip browning meat and go straight to sauteing onions, just use a little olive oil to saute them.)





Goulash


Start pasta.


Fry hamburger, drain grease, saute onions and garlic as in creamed casserole.


Add diced tomatoes, small can of tomato paste, 1/2 c. water


Let simmer for a minute or two.


Add hungarian paprika if you have it, if not then a pinch cayenne


Stir in more water if needed to keep sauce loose.


When pasta is done, drain it and combine ingredients.


Stir in a bit of sour cream if you like.
1kg or 2lb of mince (ground beef I think in USA) brown in electric fry-pan, bacon, salami, tomatoes with salt/pepper any spices you like %26amp; any vegetables you like, chuck a can of tomato soup and cook thru serve with garlic bread or lovely fresh bread rolls. Left overs for breakfast/lunch next day or if you don't like it the dog loves it. I like the mince recipies as they are in one pan and you can me sooooo many different, curry mince etc
Hi there,

COLA CHICKEN


(And more variations of recipe)


(My favorite: Wings or Ribs)





4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts


1 cup catsup


1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)





Put chicken in a non-stick pan.


Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.


Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.


(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from


sticking to pan)


Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce


becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.


It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!





You can double the recipe and use more pieces of


chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot


sauce....presto ';Hot


Wings';!


I have used Ribs, just as good.





I tried this recipe with 'meatballs'....was equally


as good...served over rice.





I found another variation.....omit the catsup and add a small


jar of Salsa (any variety).





I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup....not).


You'd think a recipe with only '3' ingredients couldn't be


messed up....wouldn't you??


Well...while I was preparing to fix the 'Cola Chicken' recipe


using Salsa.....I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my


husband...(just proves...I can't do two things at once)....mixed


Salsa %26amp; Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out


the catsup) %26amp; Cola........still turned out really tasty (to me)...might


be a little sweeter than some of you like.





I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)


but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for ';HOT';) Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).





Finally....!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken......that's good , too.





Another (bright)idea.....I thought of trying......replace the


catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce...and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp.....!


Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce......eh...wasn't all that


great...was OK...probably won't be fixing it again.





Also tried beef stew cuts......that was pretty good.....I can see


myself making this again.


Served both over rice.....think the stew cuts would have been just as


good over noodles.





How about using the little cocktail wieners/sausages?





Gonna try some butterfly cut pork chops鈥?boneless pork chops鈥?.pork steak.





How about Vienna Sausages ?? Ummm!

';Canned Soup';.


(My Way!)


Whatever cans of veggies I have, that I like, in cabinet it goes in the pot.....along with all the juices in the cans.


Cook on stove top or Crock pot.


Enjoy!





Canned:

';Corny Beanie Weenies.';


(from a country preacher in Mississippi鈥ife %26amp; 2 teenage sons)





Mix one can of good baked beans

get a kind that we like (maybe with brown sugar, onion, and bacon).


There are several kinds of good baked beans.

with a can of whole kernel corn (drained)





Any way, heat up these three ingredients, and serve with brown bread

Mix together all the dry mixes鈥?then add water 鈥our over meat and cover %26amp; cook on high 4-6 hours.


Until meat is tender.


The first time I mad it I didn鈥檛 have the Italian Dressing mix鈥?so I added a pkg. of Onion Soup Mix鈥?I have to say I liked that better.


If you use more water you might want to add more Brown Gravy mix鈥?to make a thicker sauce. Was gonna add


potatoes and carrots鈥ut never got around to it.
