Fried Chicken

Here is my recipe for Fried Chicken, the crust is so light and delicious it practically melts in your mouth and the meat is so moist and tender. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Lightly breaded Fried Chicken

3 boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 TBS salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
vegetable oil (pour to 1" deep in fry pan)

Heat the oil on medium to medium high heat in pan (oil temp should reach about 350°).
Pound out the thickest part of the chicken breast to make it even, this ensures even cooking. Combine heavy cream and ranch dressing in a bowl, set aside. Combine the flour, salt and pepper in a gallon size ziploc bag. Dip the chicken into the cream mixture, shaking gently to remove the excess cream, drop into the dry mixture bag and shake to coat evenly. Fry in the hot oil, turning each piece over only one time during cooking. Depending on how thick the pieces are, they should be ready to turn after 8 minutes. Cook on the other side till done (about another 8 minutes, again depending on the size of the piece). Chicken is done when the juices run clear (NOT pink).
