Chicken Fried Chukar + White Gravy served over Mashed Potatoes.
I double dredged and double dipped these breasts before pressing into a blend of seasoned breadcrumbs+panko for a thick and crunchy outter crust. Fried in olive oil until golden brown and then baked to ensure the crust stays crispy while I whipped up a delicious creamy white gravy infused with a flavorful combination of veges.
Ladle the gravy over the chukar and serve with a side of buttered mashed potatoes.
