Calories 349
The ultimate comfort food that’s crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. Perfect for a cozy family dinner—just add some mashed potatoes and gravy, and you’re all set!

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 ½ cups vegetable oil (for frying)

Buttermilk Marinade:

  • 2 cups buttermilk]
  • 2 large eggs, whisked
  • 3 tsp salt

Crispy Breading:

  • 1 ½ cups xall-purpose flour
  • ½ cup plain or Italian breadcrumbs
  • 2 ½ tsp seasoned salt
  • ¾ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper (for a little kick!)
  • 1 ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions 

Step 1: Prep the Chicken

  • Lay each chicken breast between plastic wrap and gently pound it to about ½ inch thick using a meat tenderizer. (No hammering needed—just a few firm taps!)
  • Pat the chicken completely dry.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and salt. Submerge the chicken in this mixture and let it soak for at least 1-2 hours (overnight is even better for ultra-tender chicken).
  • Before frying, let the chicken sit at room temperature for 25-30 minutes.

Step 2: Bread & Fry

  • Combine the flour, breadcrumbs, seasoned salt, paprika, cayenne, and black pepper in a large dish.
  • Take each piece of chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Coat it thoroughly in the breading, pressing firmly to get all those crispy bits to stick. (Tip: Don’t coat all the chicken at once—do it right before frying!)
  • Heat about ½ inch of oil in a cast iron skillet (if you have one—it's best for even heat) to 350°F.
  • Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes per side. When the edges start browning, flip it gently using a thin spatula.
  • Once golden and crispy on both sides, transfer the chicken to a wire rack so any extra oil drips away. This keeps the bottom from getting soggy.
  • Repeat with the remaining chicken, then serve hot with all your favorite Southern sides!

Notes

What to Serve It With

Pair this crispy delight with:
🥔 Creamy Mashed Potatoes
🍗 Homemade Chicken Gravy or Brown Gravy
🥕 Roasted Carrots
🍞 Buttermilk Biscuits
🌽 Corn Casserole or Green Bean Casserole

Buttermilk Substitutes (Easy Fix! 🥛)

No buttermilk? No problem! Try one of these:
  • ½ cup milk + 1 ½ cups sour cream
  • 4 tbsp milk + enough plain yogurt to make 2 cups
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar + enough milk to make 2 cups (let sit for 5-10 min)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice + enough milk to make 2 cups (let sit for 10 min, then stir!)

Why order takeout when you can whip up this killer chicken fried rice in just 20 minutes? One pan, easy ingredients, and loads of flavor—this will make you forget those flimsy white takeout boxes forever.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp canola or vegetable oil

  • 3 green onions, sliced thin
  • 2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 4 cups cooked rice (white or brown—whatever you like! Shortcut: Use two 8.8-oz pouches of pre-cooked rice)
  • 3 to 4 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • Salt & pepper to taste (optional)

Instructions 

  • Cook the chicken – Heat up a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the oils, then toss in the diced chicken. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, flipping occasionally so all sides get nice and golden.
  • Remove & set aside – Scoop out the chicken with a slotted spoon (leave the oil in the pan—it’s got flavor!). Set the chicken aside on a plate.

  • Taste & adjust – Add salt & pepper if needed. Give it one final stir and you’re done!

Notes

Storage & Reheating Tips

  • Best when served fresh and warm.
  • Leftovers? Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
