Lightened up and easy to make, yet still so delicious, this Baked Chicken Fried Steak is a hearty dish your whole family will love!
This is chicken fried steak at its best! The beef is so moist and delicious because its baked slowly in the oven. Finally, I topped it with a rich chicken gravy which is irresistible!
So, what is chicken fried steak?
My boys call this dish 'a lie on a plate'.
Why?
Well, it isn't chicken, and it isn't fried. So it's really two lies!
But who's counting?!
P/S: I do have a true Chicken Potato Bake recipe which has chicken and is baked, LOL.
I really do love a good chicken fried steak, but I can do without all the fat and calories. So one day when I was craving this dish, I decided to try it with a 'fake frying' method, which I also use with calamari (YUM) and actual chicken as well.
I couldn't believe how tasty it was!
Baked cube steak recipes are really popular among my readers. When cooked, they are so tender and juicy. Plus they are so filling.
You can never go wrong with beef recipes for dinner. One of my family favorites is this crock pot beef and mushroom recipe. It takes very little effort to make which means less work for me.
Recently, I discovered that beef and broccoli are best friends. I put them together in this crock pot beef and broccoli recipe which just made everyone jump with joy.
And if you are looking for more baked chicken recipes, I recently made this baked breaded lemon chicken which was well received by Thing 2!

I cheated a little in this chicken fried steak recipe by using cube steak from Certified Angus Beef, which is already tenderized when you buy it. But it was well worth it! However, you can also tenderize your own steak using a tenderizer if you have one.
This week's #SundaySupper event is all about lean beef recipes, which is perfect timing since everyone is trying to eat lighter after the indulgence of the holidays.
So don't forget to check out all the other lean beef recipes listed at the bottom of the post!

Here in south Africa we'd call it crumbed steak, no matter the name it looks delicious and it's on my to do list now 🙂

This is serious man food. My guy would love it. I refuse to fry anything breaded its just too heavy. This lighter version sounds delicious.

I am so sick of the mess of frying and having to pay close attention to it. This might be my solution! I don't know how my gluten-free breading mixture will work though. I also need to try out the chicken gravy in a jar. Now that it is basketball season I need to expand my really quick dinner recipes beyond hotdaogs! Found you via think tank thursday
Lori

I have never had chicken fried steak. It sounds delicious
Christina A Thomas
Two lies on a plate! That is the best name ever! My husband loves chicken fried steak but I avoid making it because it's so high in calories. I need to make your recipe and not tell him about your "lean tricks" I bet he will love it and be none the wiser! Nice job with this recipe.
shelby
Looks delicious Kristin! Grumpy would love this, he orders it when we go out but I've never made it at home for him. Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Cindy @CindysRecipesAndWritings
I love that you used egg whites. I'd use a fat free gravy to complete this tasty dish!
Christie
I haven't had chicken fried steak in a while. I love that you can bake it! Definitely have to try this recipe.
Monica
I have to admit that Chicken fried steak is one of my favorite indulgences that I had living in Texas. I don't have it now that I live in Maryland unless I stop into Cracker Barrel but this is a wonderful way to enjoy it without the guilt!
