Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 lb. chicken breasts, cubed into bite sized pieces
- ½ cup AP flour
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dry mustard powder
- ¼ - ½ cup vegetable oil, for frying the chicken
- 2 large eggs
Everything Else
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cups home style gravy, store bought is fine
- 1 can whole kernel corn, 15-ounces, drained
- 1 package potato gnocchi, 16-ounces
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon chives, fresh chopped
Equipment
- 2 mixing bowls
- 1 plate
- 1 non-stick pan
- 1 9 inch cast-iron skillet
- 1 colander
Instructions
- Grab two mixing bowls. Add two eggs to one of the bowls and whisk. Add the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and mustard powder to the second bowl. Mix well.Cube the chicken breasts into bite sized pieces. Dredge each chicken through the flour, then the egg, then the flour again. Repeat until all chicken is breaded.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a medium sized, non-stick pan. Once the oil is hot, add a few pieces of the breaded chicken. Be sure to not overcrowd the pan. Once crispy and golden brown, add the chicken to a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Make sure the internal temp reaches 165-degree Fahrenheit to ensure doneness.
- Next, drain the corn and add warm it in a pan. Add the gravy to a sauce pot and heat it through. Then, grab a 9-inch cast iron pan or non-stick skillet. Add olive oil and butter. Once melted, add the potato gnocchi. (Do NOT cook the gnocchi, add them straight from the package.) The gnocchi will need 8-10 minutes in the pan to get crispy on the outside but soft in the center.
- Once they begin to brown, reduce the heat to low and season with salt and pepper. Then, add a layer of whole kernel corn, the crispy fried chicken, and slowly top everything with gravy. Add some fresh chopped chives and enjoy.
