Chicken Fried Steak (Baked)

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!
