About City chicken

City Chicken is a comfort food dish, primarily rooted in Polish and Eastern European cuisine, popularized in regions like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Though its name suggests poultry, City Chicken typically consists of cubes of pork—sometimes mixed with veal—skewered and breaded to resemble fried chicken. The skewers are pan-fried or baked until golden and crispy, often served with gravy and sides like mashed potatoes. While high in protein due to the pork, its nutritional profile depends heavily on preparation methods. Breaded and fried versions can be high in fat and calories, while baking offers a leaner alternative. Accompanying gravy or sides may also add significant sodium or fat content. With moderate portions and mindful preparation, City Chicken can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, offering a nostalgic taste of home-cooked tradition while celebrating a unique take on regional American comfort food.
