Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Fried Steak

• Slowly add the chicken broth and whisk to combine. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
• Bring the gravy to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until the gravy has thickened.

Step 3: Serve

• Return the steaks to the skillet and spoon the gravy over the top. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
• Serve the steaks topped with the gravy.
