Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4, 3 ounces chicken and 1/4 cup gravy per serving

Ingredients

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, divided use
1/4 cup egg substitute
1/4 cup unsalted cracker crumbs (about 7 crackers)
1 teaspoon salt-free all-purpose seasoning blend
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 4 ounces each), all visible fat discarded, lightly flattened
Cooking spray
1 tablespoon canola or corn oil
1/2 cup bottled fat-free chicken gravy
1/2 cup fat-free milk

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Put 2 tablespoons flour and the egg substitute in separate shallow bowls. In a third shallow bowl, stir together the cracker crumbs and seasoning blend. Set the bowls in a row, assembly-line fashion.

    Step 2

    Working with 1 piece of chicken at a time, dip in the flour, turning to coat. Dip in the egg substitute, letting any excess drip off. Dip in the cracker crumb mixture, turning to coat. Lightly spray both sides with cooking spray.

    Step 3

    In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the chicken with the meaty side down for 4 to 5 minutes, or until browned on the bottom. Turn over. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Transfer to plates.

    Step 4

    In the same skillet, whisk together the gravy, milk, and remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes, whisking occasionally. Spoon over the chicken.
