This may have come from my Paternal Grandfather's family - we're only guessing, since he was born in Otho, Iowa. One of his favorites...
Cut chicken into pieces. I would cut the typical store-bough boneless skinless chicken breasts into 2 - 3 pieces
beat eggs, and whisk in 1/4 - 1/2 cup milk
salt and pepper the chicken
dip the chicken pieces in flour
dip chicken in egg/milk mixture
heat a skillet on the stove, with some crisco in the bottom
brown chicken in skillet several pieces at a time, once browned place all chicken pieces in a roaster
when all chicken pieces have been browned and are in the roaster, put 1/2 - 3/4" of water in the roaster, then sprinkle paprika over the chicken.
Cover the roaster, then roast in the oven for 1 hour
after roasting, remove the cover, and bake at 350 degrees for an additional 1/2 hour. Note: these times and temperatures were likely based on a whole chicken. They may be modified slightly so as to not dry our simple chicken breast pieces.
after baking, remove chicken and place on a platter
Pour liquid from roaster into a saucepan. Add 1/2 - 1 cup of milk, and whisk in flour while cooking, until it is thickened.
Flour should be mixed in at a ratio of 1 tablespoon of flour for each cup of liquid.
