Chicken Fried Pork

This was like real comfort food from Cracker Barrel. Great for a cold rainy night like today has been. You can also make this with boneless chicken if you are not a pork eater.

For the milk gravy I did add more milk to thin it a bit more and I added more pepper and a good amount of onion powder to the gravy.
