One of the students in my class has family who are GF and I was asked to put this recipe up. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did

2(1 oz) squares unsweetened chocolate melted

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

GF fried chicken

I did not intend to make fried chicken tonight. I just salted and peppered, put some lemon pepper, Italian seasoning, and splashed it in some basil olive oil, then I started to feel a little adventurous. I just beat some egg, put in some milk, and lightly dusted in GF flour. And what is GF fried chicken without gravy? I am very surprised how well my gravy turned out. I poured out the drippings into a glass measuring cup and added 3 tbs of the drippings with the brown crunches to the pan and added 2 tbs of flour. Now, you are supposed to add two cups of milk, but I like to add mine slow as to make scold the milk or make too runny. I like my gravy medium thick. Runny gravy is just not my thing and I hate it real thick. After I decided to make the gravy, my Texas roots came out and my next thought- cheesy grits.  I have NEVER eat cheesy grits. I only made them for Jared. I like mine  sweet and milky. When I first became GF, I ate grits a lot. This was before I discovered all the amazing things I could do with GF. I would use butter, milk and Splenda. They saved me on nights I wanted something sweet or nights I needed something filling. Surprisingly fantastic dinner. I will definitely make it again.
