CHICKEN-FRIED FISH

Steps:

• Place the green beans in a microwave-safe dish. Add 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt, cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave until tender, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, sprinkle the fish all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Combine the flour and paprika in a shallow dish. Beat the eggs in another dish. Dip each fish fillet in the eggs, then dredge in the flour mixture, turning to coat. Reserve the flour mixture. Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the fish until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil. Wipe out the skillet. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the reserved flour mixture, then add the chicken broth and 1/4 cup water; bring to a boil, whisking. Add the milk, cream cheese and parsley; cook, whisking, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the fish among plates. Top with the sauce and sprinkle with paprika. Serve with the green beans.

THE GREATEST BREADING FOR CHICKEN, PORK, FISH, OR ANYTHING FRIED.

Steps:

• 1.)Mix all dry ingredients together. I usually mix with my hands, that way you can really rub it all together. Of course, make sure your hands are freshly washed. "Yes mom." You can freeze the dry ingredients together for up to two months if you make extra, just let it sit out in a bowl for a few hours and it'll be just as new. 2.) Mix all the wet ingredients together separate from the dry. 3.) Place the wet mixture in a bowl next to the bowl of dry. Don't mix. 4.) Take whatever you have to fry and dip it in the wet then dry and repeat if you want it extra thick.
