Healthier Chicken Fried Steak (For Dad)


I haven't tried this recipe yet, but I posted it for Dad, because I told him I'd find a healthier version of one of his all time favorites. Mether, if you make it for him, give me the review, and perhaps I'll make it for Larry. I saw a comment from one woman that said she eliminated the salt because the crackers were already salted.


This is from the March 08 issue of Southern Living. I was intrigued by the method of this recipe and can't wait to try it....Nutitional info from Southern Living...CALORIES 315; FAT 11.9g (sat 3.9g,mono 5g,poly 1.1g); PROTEIN 29.3g; CHOLESTEROL 65mg; CALCIUM 43mg; SODIUM 369mg; FIBER 0.9g; IRON 4.1mg; CARBOHYDRATE 20.3g
