Oven Baked Chicken Fried Steak

Oven baked chicken fried steak is a delightful twist on the traditional Southern dish, which typically involves pan-frying breaded steak. Originating from Texas, chicken fried steak mirrors the technique used for fried chicken, hence the name. By opting to bake instead of fry, we’re cutting back on oil without sacrificing that deliciously crispy coating. It’s a fantastic option for those who love comfort food but are looking for a lighter preparation method.

This oven baked chicken fried steak pairs wonderfully with classic Southern sides. Consider serving it with creamy mashed potatoes, smothered in gravy, and a side of green beans or collard greens. A fresh garden salad can lighten the plate, and don’t forget a warm, buttery biscuit to round out the meal.
