Chicken Fried Steak Sandwiches
Chicken Fried Steak Sandwiches are always a hit with my family. Classic southern comfort food that gets my kids running to the dinner table every single time.

When my husband and I were dating, we would often grab lunch at a little taco joint that served the best chicken fried steak sandwiches. I normally stuck with the soft tacos, but once I took a bite of Tony’s sandwich, I was hooked.
I’ve been making chicken fried steak for years and our kids were always a little confused as to whether we were having steak or chicken. I would explain that it’s steak, fried like you fry chicken. They would just shrug their shoulders—what really mattered was how much longer until supper was ready!
Sometimes I cut the steak into small pieces and make Chicken Fried Steak Bites with cream gravy —totally irresistible, but a bit more time-consuming and messy. If I’m short on time, Chicken Fried Steak Sandwiches and oven fried tater tots are the way to go.
