I made this tonight for supper. I omitted the mozzarella and subbed panko breadcrumbs plus some Italian seasonning for the Italian breadcrumbs since this is what I had on hand. It turned out pretty good and was definitely a nice change of pace from the traditional cube steak and gravy I usually make. Best of all, it truly reminded me of chicken parmesan - one of my favorite dishes. Thank you!

Very good, the whole family loved it! Next time I will put the sauce in the bottom of the baking dish, a nice crispy topping on the steak would be wonderful. Served this over spaghetti.

This is easy to put together and smells great while baking. I wish the cube steaks would have retained their crispy coating better. The texture looked great after frying, but became somewhat soggy after baking. Still tasted good! Thanks, DrGaellon.

We really enjoyed this! I haven't had cube steaks since I was growing up, but my dad gave me some from his farm, and I wanted to do something more interesting than just dredging them in flour, salt, and pepper that I remember having as a child. This was a great way to make cube steak a lot more interesting than I remember from my childhood and to encourage me to consider buying this cut more often! Thanks for posting!
