Chicken-Fried Steak & Gravy

Well, this was a very pleasant surprise! My husband LOVES chicken fried steak but it is not exactly a health food in its usual form, and we are both trying to lose weight. This was actually the first time I tried making it, and we both thought it turned out really well. The gravy is outstanding for such a low fat gravy. I make my own beef stock and also am non dairy so used NutPods Original for the cream, and just yum. I also used gluten free flour for both the all purpose and whole wheat flour and it was just fine.

This was my first attempt at making chicken fried steak, and we really enjoyed it. Will definitely make again and will probably go heavier on the spices.

This came out great. I did significantly up the spice both in the breading and gravy. I used smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic and onion powder. I will definitely make again.

Healthy and delicious! This was absolutely delicious! I had to keep looking at the nutritional info because it tastes too good to be that healthy! I did, like others, add more oil to my pan, as well as using fat free half and half in the gravy. I added more spice to the breading(in the form of cayenne and hot paprika) as well as the gravy(cayenne, black pepper and Tabasco), We loved this and will be making it often! Pros: Easy to prepare, the kids loved it

Easy to make, even for a beginner! I'm a noob to cooking anything that doesn't go from freezer to microwave, but this dish was easy enough for me. I had no problem with the gravy, I made sure to boil the broth down to 1 cup. I used slightly more oil during the pan frying, and may have had the heat a little high as they started to stick, not too bad though. Great flavor, and not unhealthy! Definitely recommended!

Outstanding! I LOVE chicken-fried steak & gravy with mashed potatoes; sadly, that meal did not fit into my new healthy lifestyle. I found this recipe & gave it a shot - BOY IS THIS GREAT!! Even my husband (who hates any food that is traditionally Southern or comfort)loves it! We serve it with mashed cauliflower...OMG, this is heaven!! I read the reviews and made the same changes everyone else did, and it turned out fabulously!! Highly recommend this! Pros: Easy, delicious, low-cal

Excellent! I am so pleased with how this turned out. My husband loves chicken fried steak, but the deep frying always bothered me. The flavor and tenderness were a definite hit with all of us (15yr old son, as well) I baked it on top of a cooling rack set on a jellyroll pan so it would stay crisp all around. I was a little nervous since it didn't look so attractive when I took it out of the oven, but I didn't need to worry. Pros: Very tasty Cons: Appearance

Great recipe! Must try it!This is a really tasty recipe and once you get the ingredients together, it's pretty easy. Some reviewers said they had to add more cornstarch to thicken the gravy. This only happens if you don't cook the beef broth down to 1 cup. Very important step. Once you cook the broth down to one cup, the cornstarch mixture will thicken it to make the gravy. Bonus that it's a healthy version!

Excellent recipe! This is a fine example of how valuable this site can be: an fast and easy recipe that is low in calories, low in sodium, yet tasty and true to the original. Only two minor quibbles: 1. As mentioned by others, I needed more cornstarch to get the gravy to set up; I actually found that letting it sit for a while helped, too. 2. More oil was needed than what was specified in order to keep the steaks from sticking to our heavy stainless-steel pan; I suppose that a truly non-stick pan might not have this issue, but I didn't happen to have one large enough. We have a cast-iron frying pan, but I think that would have been worse.

We really enjoyed this meal. I used reg. milk since it was all I had on hand but other than that, this was great!

I really enjoyed making this "chicken fried steak" it was almost as good as the real one but I did have to tweak the gravy as the instructions for that didn't quite make sense to me. Anyway, it was pretty good.. I'll definetly be making this again :)
