INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

0.25 cup buttermilk

3 tbsp all-purpose flour

0.5 tsp sea salt

0.5 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp paprika

1 tbsp avocado oil

0.25 cup whole milk

0.25 cup chicken broth

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the chicken breast between two pieces of parchment paper and pound to an even half-inch thickness for uniform cooking.

• 2

  Place the chicken in a shallow bowl and pour the buttermilk over it, allowing it to soak for at least 15 minutes.

• 3

  In a separate shallow dish, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the flour, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

• 4

  Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off, then dredge it thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.

• 5

  Heat avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and pan-fry the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

• 6

  Remove the chicken to a plate to rest; whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour into the residual oil in the pan for 1 minute.

• 7

  Slowly whisk in the milk and chicken broth, simmering and stirring constantly until the gravy thickens into a creamy sauce.

• 8

  Serve the crispy chicken immediately with the warm gravy poured over the top.
