Chicken fried steak is a hearty Southern comfort dish that consists of a tenderized beef cutlet, typically cube steak, coated in a seasoned flour or breadcrumb batter, and deep-fried until golden brown. Often thought of as an American adaptation of Austrian or German schnitzel, it gained popularity in the Southern United States. The dish is traditionally served smothered in creamy gravy made from pan drippings, flour, and milk, alongside mashed potatoes or other comforting sides. While chicken fried steak is a flavorful indulgence, it is high in calories, saturated fats, and sodium due to its deep-fried preparation and rich gravy. However, it does provide protein and iron from the beef. To make it a bit healthier, some variations swap frying for baking or use leaner cuts of meat. Moderation and mindful ingredient choices can make this beloved classic more balanced.
