Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 lbs cube steaks
1 (4 1/4 ounce) box oven fry for pork
1 (2 3/4 ounce) package pioneer fat free gravy mix (I find it at WalMart)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350*.
  • Roll Cube steak in Oven Fry.
  • Place on Baking Stone or Cookie Sheet.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until juices are clear.
  • Turn once.
  • Right before taking out of oven prepare gravy as directed on package.

Tips:

  • Trim excess fat: Before cooking, use a sharp knife to trim off any excess fat from the chicken breasts or thighs. This will help reduce the overall fat content of the dish.
  • Use low-fat cooking methods: Instead of frying the chicken in oil, bake it in the oven or grill it. These methods allow the chicken to cook evenly without adding unnecessary fat.
  • Choose healthy breading: Instead of using traditional bread crumbs, try using whole-wheat bread crumbs or a mixture of bread crumbs and oats. These healthier options will add fiber and nutrients to the dish.
  • Go easy on the gravy: Chicken-fried steak is typically served with a gravy made from pan drippings. To reduce the fat content of the gravy, skim off any excess fat from the pan before making the gravy. You can also use a low-fat or fat-free broth instead of whole milk.
  • Add vegetables: Serve chicken-fried steak with a side of vegetables to boost the nutritional value of the meal. Roasted vegetables, steamed vegetables, or a simple salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

Low-fat chicken-fried steak is a healthier take on a classic comfort food. By following these tips, you can enjoy this delicious dish without sacrificing your health goals. So next time you're craving chicken-fried steak, give this low-fat version a try. You won't be disappointed!
