Number Of Ingredients 11

buttermilk, for dipping
2 large egg whites
1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp all purpose flour
1/2 tsp plus more to taste ground black pepper
3/4 tsp plus more to taste salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
4 lean, 4 oz. each cubed round steak
3 tbsp canola oil
3 tbsp or scallion finely chopped onion
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • In a shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk the egg whites with 2 teaspoons water. In a separate bowl or pie plate, whisk together 1/2 cup of the flour, the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Dip the steaks, one at a time, into the buttermilk. Then, dip each steak into the egg whites, letting any excess drip off. Lastly, dip the steaks into the flour mixture. Gently shake each steak to remove any excess.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook until well-browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add the onion and cook over medium heat until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Simmer until the gravy is thick and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the steaks with the gravy over the top.

OVEN FRIED CHICKEN FROM PAULA DEEN



Oven Fried Chicken from Paula Deen image

This is very delicious, and easy to make! Placing the chicken on the cooling rack is REALLY what makes it great, no need to turn them. I double the mustard/water combo, because I think this makes the chicken more moist. If they are not brown enough for you, place under broiler for a few minutes after it is baked to get a nice brown color. Also, a drizzle of melted butter before baking is a nice touch. This is from Paula Deen, hope you enjoy! I am trying to say Panko bread crumbs in the ingredients, but it will not let me. P.S. I am SO in love with Panko bread crumbs, if you have not yet tried them, please do, you will love them! : )

Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons freshly minced thyme leaves
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons water
2 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/4 -inch thickness

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place a cooling rack over pan and spray rack with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, cheese, 2 tablespoons olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper, to taste.
  • In a separate shallow dish, combine mustard, water, salt and pepper, to taste, and remaining olive oil.
  • Coat each chicken breast with mustard mixture; dredge each in bread crumb mixture.
  • Place on prepared rack in pan.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use a tender cut of beef for the chicken fried steak, such as cube steak or round steak. This will ensure that the steak is tender and juicy after it is fried.
  • Pound the steak to an even thickness before dredging it in the flour mixture. This will help the steak cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Use a seasoned flour mixture to coat the steak. This will add flavor to the steak and help it to brown nicely when it is fried.
  • Fry the steak in hot oil until it is golden brown on both sides. This will create a crispy crust on the outside of the steak and help to seal in the juices.
  • Serve the chicken fried steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or corn.

Conclusion:

Chicken fried steak is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a family meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make chicken fried steak that is sure to impress your family and friends.
