Southern fried chicken is a tradition here. I created this recipe as a substitute, and my husband thinks it's wonderful.

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt, optional
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 pound)
2 teaspoons butter
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped celery
3 fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup evaporated milk
Hot cooked noodles

Directions

In a large resealable bag, combine the first seven ingredients. Cut chicken pieces into thirds; place in the bag and shake to coat.
In a large nonstick skillet, brown chicken in butter on all sides; remove and keep warm. Add the onion, celery and mushrooms; cook until tender.
Return chicken to the pan; add broth. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk flour and milk until smooth. Add to pan; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Serve with noodles.

The taste of this was okay. It was a lot of work for what it ended up being.

My family really liked this. I put about half as much paprika as the recipe suggested- as I am sensative to paprika.

This was really good, I had to add some salt free seasoning to the sauce though, it didn't have much flavor. After that though it was excellent
