This is something that has always puzzled me and I wonder if anyone has an answer for it. I believe Chicken Fried Steak originated in the South and is delicious served with Creamed Pan Gravy but every time I ordered it, it was Beef and not Chicken.

Because it is often breaded and fried like chicken.
Many restaurants also call it Country Fried Steak.
