I grew up watching my mom make this and it has become one of Flint's all time favorite meals. He will just about fly me to the moon if I make him this. (Sadly, flying to the moon doesn't cover doing dishes!)
Chicken Fried Steak
Source: adapted from Janet Rose (my mom)
1 pkg cube steak (4 steaks)
Prepare three pie plates:
1. Plain flour
2. 2-3 eggs and a little milk, beaten well
3. Flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, poultry seasoning and bread or cracker crumbs
Bread thawed cube steaks (flour, then egg, then flour/bread crumb mixture). Make sure to do a good job of coating the steak in each pie plate! Every layer is important. Use your fingers - get messy!
Place breaded steaks directly into a hot frying pan that has a layer of oil on the bottom. Let steaks brown well on both sides. Interior of steaks does not need to cook all the way. You may need to continue adding oil to your frying pan as you cook more steaks.
Prepare a glass 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Arrange browned steaks in the bottom. Add ~1 cup water and 1-2 chicken bouillon cubes. Seal with tin foil very tightly. You want the steaks and water completely enclosed so the steam/water can't escape.
* Alternately, if you have a cast iron skillet with a lid, fry AND bake the steaks in it! Same results, less dishes!
Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Steaks should be super tender! If you need to keep it in the oven longer, just make sure the water hasn't dried up, you don't want jerky :)
Serve with white gravy and mashed potatoes (or in the case of my picture, with oven-baked steak fries). Delicious!
Seriously, this is always a huge hit at my house! It takes a little longer, but also makes my husband happy with me!
Enjoy your trip to the moon!
