Delicious Gluten-Free Fried Chicken with Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs or breasts
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup milk or dairy-free alternative
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. In one bowl, mix the gluten-free flour with paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. In another bowl, beat the eggs, and in a third bowl, place the gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- Coat the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with gluten-free breadcrumbs until fully covered.
- Fry the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Make the Mashed Sweet Potatoes: While the chicken is frying, boil sweet potatoes in a pot of salted water until tender. Drain and return to the pot. Mash the sweet potatoes with butter, milk, and salt until creamy and smooth.
- Serve: Plate the fried chicken alongside a generous scoop of mashed sweet potatoes. Enjoy your delicious gluten-free meal!
