Chicken Fried Pork is a delicious twist on the classic comfort food recipe!

If you’ve ever had Chicken Fried Steak, then you know how delicious it is. This is a version of Chicken Fried Steak that uses pork instead. And it’s all covered in a creamy, white country milk gravy. My family has been loving this Chicken Fried Pork as a quick and easy weeknight meal (which is appreciated during the busy holiday season!)

This is another recipe I’ve created in partnership with Smithfield for their line of already marinated 100% fresh pork.  It’s so easy to work with their products because you get to work with pork that already has a base of great flavor. It’s conveniently pre-seasoned with no artificial ingredients.  There is no extra prep or time needed to marinate the pork because it’s already done! You should be able to prepare this dinner in less than 30 minutes.

How to make Chicken Fried Pork:

You’ll need an already-marinated Smithfield pork tenderloin (I use the Slow Roasted Golden Rotisserie flavor), flour, egg, milk, butter and oil. There are no spices needed at all. The pork is already well-seasoned because it’s pre-marinated with a lot of great flavor! In a large skillet, the butter and oil are heated until bubbling. Slices of the pork are dipped in egg and flour and then fried in the pan until golden brown and has a crispy coating.

Why is it called Chicken Fried Pork if there is no chicken in the recipe?

This is a common question about Chicken Fried Steak too (which is made with beef). It’s called Chicken Fried Pork because the pork is battered, dipped and fried just like you would classically fry chicken in a skillet.

White Country Milk Gravy

This is super simple to make in a matter of minutes. You’ll melt butter in a saucepan and whisk in the flour. Then you’ll whisk in chicken broth and stir until thickened. Finally you’ll whisk in the milk. The result is a delicious gravy! You can add a little salt and/or pepper, if you’d like… but I prefer it as it is since the Chicken Fried Pork has so much flavor. 

Drizzle the white gravy over your Chicken Fried Pork and garnish with a little fresh parsley. This is our new favorite family meal!
