Chicken Tenders w/Cream Gravy

I just copied and pasted this recipe from SoTastySoYummy. This meal was really good - the gravy was the best part and it was really easy. I have always been intimidated by trying to make gravy but this turned out perfect for my first time. The only thing I would do different next time is to tenderize the chicken strips/breasts beforehand - they were a little tough, but that is nothing a little beat of beating a mallet won't fix. :) The macaroni and green beans were from a box and a can, so no recipe for those.
































Chicken Tenders
2 chicken breasts, cut into strips
1/3 cup flour
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
salt
pepper
oil for frying

Place the flour in one shallow dish, the egg in another and the breadcrumbs in a third. Salt and pepper the flour. Toss the chicken strips first in the flour, then the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. Heat approximately 1/2 inch oil in a frying pan over medium high heat. Fry the chicken tenders, about 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Drain on a paper towel.

Cream Gravy
2 tablespoons of the oil from frying the chicken tenders
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup cream

Remove all but two tablespoons of the oil from the frying pan used to fry the chicken. Whisk in flour until well blended; cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbly. Gradually add milk and cream; boil until thick and smooth, whisking constantly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
