This recipe for chicken fried steak includes a batter spiked with Tabasco Sauce and a pan gravy that is sure to satisfy all the chicken fried steak lovers at your table.
'It takes only a few minutes to brown the meat before assembling this savory meal,' assures Connie Slocum from Brunswick, Georgia. 'The pork chops simmer all day in a flavorful sauce until they're tender.'
'I've been the chief cook ever since I moved in with my father, says Judy Yackey of Kalispell, Montana. 'With its crispy coating, this southern specialty is his favorite meal. He loves it with mashed potatoes.'
'This is one of our favorites-for Sunday dinner or for taking along on a picnic,' shares Rebekah Miller of Rocky Mount, Virginia. 'Served hot or cold, it's a real treat.'
Giving the chicken a double coat of flour mixture creates a golden crust (without the skin) when pan-fried. We use lemon rind instead of the lemon extract called for in the original. Carefully pour in the broth so you don't wet the crispy brown coating on the chicken. The broth mixture turns into a glazey sauce that can be served with the chicken.
Chicken and rice dishes are common family meals. This one gives new life to leftover grilled chicken. Slightly browning the broccoli deepens the taste of the dish.
