Skinny Chicken Fried Steak is a delicious comfort food meal that you don’t have to feel guilty about. Serve with peas or green beans for a low-fat southern dinner.

Skinny Chicken Fried Steak

 

Crispy pan-fried cubed steak is covered in a rich country gravy. Chicken Fried Steak is probably my favorite southern food but it is loaded with fat and calories. To make it healthier and reduce the fat and calories, I dredged cubed steak in a fat-free buttermilk and coated it in just a little flour mixed with Montreal steak seasoning. A little of this mixture gets set aside to make the gravy.

Skinny Chicken Fried Steak has less fat and fewer calories.

 

The flour coated cubed steak gets pan-fried in just 2 tablespoons of oil. Next a milk gravy gets made from the pan drippings and reserved flour. Instead of using whole milk, I use 1% milk.

You can serve Skinny Chicken Fried Steak over light mashed potatoes if you like or just eat it with green beans or steamed vegetables. This lightened up southern favorite still packs the flavor.

    There is also a meat cuber which is called “Fast Cutlet Maker V2” that smash the flesh and after it have a nice squared pattern on it. It’s very popular in Poland.
