This recipe offers a healthier twist on the classic chicken fried steak, baked to perfection for a crispy and flavorful dish.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy texture.
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
Add a splash of water or milk to the eggs for a smoother coating.
Place the breadcrumbs and paprika in another bowl and mix well.
Mixing the seasoning evenly ensures consistent flavor.
Dip each cube steak into the egg wash, then coat it thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Press the breadcrumbs onto the steak to ensure a good coating.
Place the breaded steaks on the prepared baking sheet.
Leave space between the steaks for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Flipping ensures both sides are evenly crispy.
Prepare the gravy according to the package instructions.
Stir the gravy continuously to avoid lumps.
Serve the baked chicken steaks hot with the prepared gravy drizzled on top.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
