CRACKER BARREL CHRISTMAS RECIPES

Steps:

• Place chicken and 1 pinch salt in a large pot; cover with water. Bring to a boil, skimming any scum off the surface with a slotted spoon. Add lemon, celery, onion, and carrots. Simmer broth over medium heat until chicken starts to fall off the bone, about 1 hour.
• Discard lemon. Remove chicken from the pot; let cool.
• Place flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Make a well in the center. Ladle in 2 to 3 scoops of hot broth. Mix in flour with a spoon until dough comes together into a ball.
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead carefully until smooth. Roll out into a large rectangle; cut into small rectangular dumplings.
• Drop dumplings one at a time into the simmering broth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 30 minutes.
• Bone chicken and chop into pieces. Add to the pot; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Prepare your breading station by placing the flour, beaten eggs, and pancake mix in separate bowls. Dredge each steak in the flour, dip in the egg and finally coat in the pancake mix.
• Heat up half of your oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the steak, one at a time, and pan-fry for 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
• Set the steaks aside to cool.
• For the gravy, make a roux with the remaining oil. Add the flour and stir.
• Once it is lightly brown and gives off a nutty smell, add in the milk and whisk until it combines evenly.
• Bring to a simmer and continue simmering for 8 to 10 minutes until thickened.
• Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, then pour over the steaks.
• Garnish with parsley and serve with vegetables and potatoes done to your preference.
