CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN with PEPPERED GRAVY

Chicken Fried Chicken

2 large boneless chicken breasts

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

2-4 tablespoons butter(enough to keep chicken from burning~add as necessary)

Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts.
In a shallow glass pan, pour buttermilk over chicken 1-2 hours prior to cooking. Make sure to coat chicken well and turn at least once during soaking.
When ready to cook, drain, but do NOT rinse the buttermilk off the chicken pieces.
In a medium sized fry pan melt the butter over medium heat. As butter melts and begins to very slightly sizzle, prepare breasts.
In a small ziploc bag mix together the flour, salt and pepper.
One at a time, put each chicken breast in bag and coat well with flour mix and then into sizzling butter.
Cook on one side until edges begin to bleed and then turn. About 6 minutes each side depending on plumpness.
Keep chicken warm.
