Don’t let the name fool you—Chicken Fried Steak contains no chicken! It’s a Southern classic featuring a tenderized cube steak, breaded and fried to golden perfection, then smothered in a rich, peppery cream gravy. Crispy outside, juicy inside, and blanketed in velvety sauce—it’s the ultimate comfort food that turns humble ingredients into something deeply satisfying.
Perfect for Sunday supper, weeknight dinners, or whenever you need a taste of home.
