Skillet City Chicken, Baked City Chicken
or Crock Pot City Chicken. The gravy is
perfect over mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
3/4 lb veal and 3/4 lb pork cut into
1 inch cubes OR use 1 ½ lb all pork.
1 ½ cup flour
2 eggs
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
2 cups of chicken broth from can or
4 chicken bouillon cubes dissolved in 2 cup water.
1 can (10.5 oz.) condensed mushroom soup or cream of celery condensed soup
1 small pinch dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Use eight (6" wood skewers) to string meat
Salt to taste
Method
Whip the eggs with the white pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Rinse cubed meat and pat dry with paper towels. Dip meat into the egg mixture, then shake in flour to coat (use a paper or plastic shopping bag.) Place the bag in refrigerator about 15-30 minutes (This will help the flour to stick to the meat,) then shake the bag once more. Slide meat tightly against each piece onto 6" wood skewers.
In a large skillet, slowly golden brown the meat on skewers on all sides in a small amount of vegetable oil using a medium low heat. Drain off any excess oil from pan. Add chicken broth, mushroom soup or celery soup, and thyme to the skillet, scrape up any brown bits on bottom of pan mixing it in.
Cover and simmer all for 45-60 minutes or until meat is very tender and sauce has thickened. During cooking keep adding small amounts of water as needed to thin and to keep the gravy level up. Taste gravy when near finished and add salt to taste.
