Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:

  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 2 sleeves of Ritz crackers
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons of salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons of oil

For the Gravy:

  • 1 cup of whole milk
  • 1/2 cup of half and half
  • 2 tablespoons of salted butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons of flour
  • 2 tablespoons of corn starch
  • 2 chicken bouillon cubes

Instructions
 

For the Chicken:

  • Grab 2 sleeves of Ritz crackers and crush them into large crumbs. Put the crumbs into a large bowl.
  • Crack your 2 eggs in a bowl and whisk them.
  • Heat a large pan on the stove on medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of salted butter and 2 tablespoons of oil.
  • Cut the 3 chicken breasts into a few pieces (about 4 per breast). You may want to flatten the thicker parts to make them more even.
  • Dip the chicken pieces into the egg mixture, and then firmly press them into the Ritz cracker crumbs on each side. Set each piece aside until they are all ready.
  • Make sure the oil and butter are well mixed in the pan and add the chicken. Cook until the chicken is golden, about 5-7 minutes per side.

For the Gravy:

  • Set a medium sized pan on medium-low heat and add 1/2 a cup half and half, 2 tablespoons of butter, and salt and pepper to taste. Crumble in the 2 chicken bouillon cubes and give it a stir.
  • While the butter is melting, grab a separate bowl and add in 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of flour, and 2 tablespoons of corn starch. Use a fork and mix it together until no clumps remain. Slowing pour the mixture into the pan, stirring as you go.
  • Once the gravy has thickened up, turn off the heat and transfer it a blender. Blend until smooth and then transfer back to the pan with the heat still off and cover until ready to serve.
