Chicken Fried Ham

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Prepare the mashed potatoes: Peel and chop potatoes, then boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.

Add butter and cream to the potatoes, then mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Set the mashed potatoes aside and keep warm.

Prepare the ham: Slice the ham into thick pieces suitable for frying.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until combined.

In another bowl, combine flour, black pepper, and salt.

Dredge each ham slice in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with bread crumbs.

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the ham slices for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Remove the fried ham from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

For the gravy: In the same skillet, add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Sprinkle flour over the onion mixture and stir to combine, cooking for 1-2 minutes.

Slowly whisk in chicken broth, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.

Season the gravy with thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper to taste.

Serve the fried ham over a generous scoop of mashed potatoes, topped with ham gravy.
