How to Make Grandma's City Chicken

  1. Cut 1 lb veal and 1 lb pork into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Thread veal and pork cubes onto 8 (6-inch) skewers, pushing pieces tightly together.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Place 1 1/2 cups cracker crumbs in a zip-top bag.
  5. Dip each skewer into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Place the coated skewers in the bag with the cracker crumbs, seal, and shake until evenly coated.
  7. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  8. Sear the skewers for approximately 4 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  9. Transfer the skillet with the seared skewers to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C).
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup chicken broth until smooth.
  11. Pour the flour mixture evenly over the chicken skewers in the skillet.
  12. Cover the skillet with aluminum foil and bake for 50 minutes.
  13. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  14. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes.
