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!

  1. I tried to make this dish and I cooked it both sides as instructed and when it came out it was very floury looking and puddles of dampness so I tried putting back in over for an additional 5 min each side. Finally put under broiler to get it crispy but by that time it had dried the meat out. Move on to the next attempt but will try again.

    • I am sorry to hear that! That happened to me once when I was developing the recipe, and so I changed the flour to bread crumbs ratio and that fixed it. So make sure you are using 1/3 cup flour and 2/3 cup bread crumbs called for in the recipe. Also, make sure your oven is truly 400 degrees. If it runs a little cooler, you may need to bump it up a bit so that the breading gets brown before the meat dries out. I hope it turns out better for you with those suggestions!

  7. I’ve never heard of this and it took me a while to get my head around the fact that it’s not chicken? ! Anyway, you make it look and sound delicious and I’m sure my boys will love it. Thanks for sharing at Fiesta Friday this week.

    • Yep, it’s not chicken! But chicken fried steak is steak that is fried in the way that chicken is usually fried. Of course, in this case, there is no frying, just baking. Hence the reasons my boys call it ‘a lie on a plate’. LOL 😀

  8. You have just made my year! I never ever thought (duh) to bake this dish! I love chicken fried steak but never make it. I don’t fry anything. I do order this from restaurants occasionally, it’s fried so I try not to eat if often. I am doing a happy dance here!!

  11. Do you have the nutritional info for the baked chicken fried steak? I made it and it came out yummy. I made white gravy with mine.

    Reply

    • Hi Evelyn, I actually don’t like to give nutritional information anymore because of the wide fluctuation based on what products people buy*. My suggestion is to plug the ingredients in to a calorie calculator like the one at My Fitness Pal (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/calculator), specifying the brands that you use, and that will get you a lot closer to the actual nutritional information that will be in your final product. Thanks for stopping by!

      *Editing this to note that I now am including nutritional information on the recipe card, based on the ingredients I use. So take the info with a grain of salt (so to speak, lol). Thanks!

    • I don’t have a lot of experience with almond flour, so I can’t tell you exactly how it will turn out, but give it a try if you are feeling adventurous! I would love to hear how it turns out! 🙂

  13. I tried the recipe, but my flour mixture didn’t cook so I had to spray with non-stick olive oil and put it back in to cook the flour … overall, I like that I wasn’t standing over a stove, taking meat in and out of a pan – but I need to work with again.

    • The same thing happened to me. It was still crunchy and tasted delicious but it didn’t look appealing at all. It was very floury looking and did not look anything like the picture.

      • Hi Maizi, I am sorry to hear that happened for you, but glad that it still tasted good. I have made this many times and didn’t have that problem, so I am not sure what advice to give you. Maybe you can try reducing the cooking time by a few minutes and finishing the steak under the broiler instead. That might help the breading to brown a bit. I hope you enjoyed it anyway and I appreciate you stopping by!
