    I think it’s due to being cooked like chicken fried steak not sure how regional it is.

      But chicken fried steak is called that because it’s fried in the style of fried chicken.

      “Chicken fried like a steak that was fried like chicken” is very needlessly redundant.

      It’ll be a flattened or cubed cutlet, not a natural piece of the bird, means you can fry in a pan with a little oil and not a big pot or fryer.

        Yeah but the gravy and mashed potatoes make it what it is as well. This is the root dish for the name.

        I’m not trying to argue, just trying to explain ops naming choice not just calling it pan fried chicken with black pepper white gravy and mashed potatoes.
