COUNTRY GARDEN CHICKEN WITH CHEESY GRITS
This came from a Publix recipe and we loved it so much that I'm posting it here for easy reference! I personally used some white sawmill country gravy mix I had on hand and Shake'n Bake chicken flavored breading. I highly recommend McCormick's "Vegetable Supreme" seasoning as the blend used. You can cut the carbs by about 50% in the chicken recipe by pan-frying the chicken without the breading. SUGGESTED ITEMS TO SERVE WITH: apple pie, cornbread, okra. COOKING SEQUENCE: Bread chicken and begin to cook - 10 minutes. While chicken cooks, prepare grits, complete chicken and serve - 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Place oil in large sauté pan and heat on medium-high 2-3 minutes.
- Moisten chicken with 1 tablespoon water. Place breading mix in bowl. Coat chicken, one piece at a time, by pressing into breading mix; turn and coat other side. (For thicker breading, coat twice.) Set chicken aside. Wash hands.
- Place chicken, using tongs, in hot oil and cook 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden brown. Remove chicken from pan; cover to keep warm.
- While chicken cooks, prepare grits.
- Stir tomatoes, green peppers, onions and vegetable seasoning into pan with drippings. Heat over medium-high heat 2-3 minutes until onions are translucent. Stir in gravy mix and gradually add remaining 1 1/2 cups water, stirring continually, until sauce is smooth. Reduce heat to low and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring often, to heat thoroughly. Serve sauce over chicken.

Steps:
- Chicken:
- Combine buttermilk, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, and paprika in a large bowl or large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken thighs, cover bowl or seal bag, and toss to coat. Chill at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
- Grits:
- Bring 4 cups salted water to a boil and gradually add grits, whisking constantly. Cook, whisking occasionally, until grits are very tender and creamy, 25-30 minutes. Add cream cheese and Parmesan; whisk until melted and incorporated; season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.
- Frying and assembly:
- Whisk flour, cayenne, garlic powder, paprika, and 2 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.
- Remove chicken thighs from brine, letting excess drip off. Working in batches, dredge chicken in flour mixture, occasionally dipping your fingers in brine as you pack on flour to help create moistened, shaggy bits (the makings of a super-crisp crust); transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
- Fit a large cast-iron skillet with thermometer and heat oil until thermometer registers 350°F. Working in batches and returning oil to 350°F between batches, fry chicken thighs, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and coating is deep golden brown and crisp, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack set inside a baking sheet and let sit while you cook the kale.
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add kale in large handfuls, letting it cook down slightly before adding more and tossing to coat. Season with salt and pepper and cook, tossing occasionally, until wilted and bright green, about 2 minutes. Add vinegar and 1 Tbsp. pepper jelly and toss to coat.
- Divide grits evenly among bowls and top with kale, fried chicken, and more pepper jelly.

Season to taste and serve hot with a sprinkle of grated cheese and scallions.

- Generously season chicken breasts on both sides with Cajun or Creole seasoning, plus salt if seasoning mix is salt-free. Mist or spray a large, heavy-bottomed skillet like a cast iron skillet with extra virgin olive oil or nonstick spray over high heat then add chicken breasts and sear until golden brown, 1-2 minute per side. Chicken should not need be cooked through. Remove chicken to a plate then set aside.
- Melt butter in olive oil in skillet then add bell pepper, onions, and mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and then saute until caramelized and tender, 6-7 minutes, stirring often to ensure vegetables don't burn. Add chicken breasts back into skillet then pile vegetables on top. Add chicken broth then boil until liquid is reduced by a little more than half and chicken breasts are cooked through, stirring sauce every so often.
- Meanwhile, while the broth is reducing, make the parmesan grits. Bring chicken broth and salt to a boil in a saucepan then add grits and turn heat down to medium low. Whisk almost constantly for 3-4 minutes or until thickened but still creamy, lifting the pan for a few moments if the grits start to spatter. Remove pan from heat then stir in butter and parmesan cheese. Place a lid on top then set aside. Taste then add salt if needed before serving.
- Scoop grits into bowls then add chicken and vegetables on top. Spoon pan sauce on top then sprinkle with green onions and serve.
