To make this special, alternate pork and veal. Superb!

YUM! My grandmother used to make this all the time. I was always amazed at how tender the meat was. She called it "city chicken", but no one I've ever talked to knows what it is. This recipe hit it on the head. It was so easy and so good. My husband and kids all loved it. Will make it again.

Awesome..I didn't add the tyme (didn't have any), I did what most did with browning it and then baking it. I added fresh garlic, capers and a little bit of cream and served over buttered noodles with parsley. Make sure you get the browned pieces from the bottom of pan.Yummy my boys age 3 & 12 loved it and ask fori it all the time.

very yummy!! I browned the meat and then put the chicken broth in. I didn't use the skewers. The meat was tender, tasty and very easy to make. A winner of a recipe.

Very nice. Didn't bother with the skewers and cooked a bit shorter and hotter (ran out of time). Also burnt it a bit initially but it all still turned out fine. Will make sure I cook it at a lower temperature next time since it came out a bit lumpy. Since I didn't skewer it, I threw the cut up pieces into a bag with the flour and shook it - much easier!

this pork was extremely tender and flavorful. a wonderful alternative to pork roasts as we eat a lot of pork and I get bored with roasts. added capers to the sauce and served over white rice.

Great recipe. If you do not want that soggy flour coating on the meat, then stir the mixture- the more flour that falls off the meat the better and the thicker the sauce with will be!

Wonderful way to prepare city chicken! I will make this over and over!! My only problem was that my gravy never thickened but I used it to my advantage by putting the broth over my rice and asparagus, wow what a delicious combo!

I have been making City Chicken occasionally for many years. Tried this recipe last night. I had never tried it with the chicken broth and this was very good! I always use beef and pork on my skewers. A lot of times you can find these already on skewers at a meat market. I served this with an apricot cashew rice and the meal was so good! To save time make up your skewers ahead of time. Will make again.

I come from a Polish Russian family in Michigan, and this was a favorite once a week...like a treat. I also put a few pieces of chicken breast on the skewers. Old timey recipes are hard to find anymore.....Thanks

I made a batch just rolled in flour and another that I dipped in a beaten egg and then cracker crumbs after the flour. I was trying to make like my boyfriend's family friend. I also cooked in the oven instead of the stove top. We decided the second way was exactly like hers. Thanks so much for the recipe!!

My husband and I couldn't stop eating this! What I did differently: I didn't have any skewers so I didn't bother cutting the pork into cubes. I still prepared the larger pieces (like country-style ribs) the same way. I also added a packet of onion soup mix over the pork, then cooked for the stated length of time. I made the gravy and served over brown rice. My whole family loved this and I will make it again!! Thank you for sharing your recipe.

I made this a few nights ago and it was a hit with my unexpected guests! Everyone said the gravy portion tasted similar to that of KFC's... but that the only thing that would have made it spot on is discovering which spices were missing. I didn't do the pork on skewers because I didn't have any... I just cooked the pork in a pan with the gravy. I added garlic pimento spice to the flour, salt and pepper coating because I never cook without some kind of garlic. I served it over egg noodles. I will definitely make this again, and play around with some spice combinations!

This was good, but found it a bit salty. I'll be more careful with that next time. Overall, very tender and enjoyed it over rice with some crunchy La Choy chow mein noodles.

It never ceases to amaze me at the wonderful recipes I can find on this site. I've had City Chicken once and LOVED it. Tried following the original recipe, but it wasn't 'quite right'. Once I rolled it in flour, egg, cracker crumbs I knew that was the missing ingrediant. It gives you a much nicer crust on the cubes. I also baked it since I couldn't fit that many skewers in my pan and wanted to get the most for my efforts. Now I am happy to say "It tastes just like Nana's."

My DH, who is from Western New York, was glad to hear my plans for dinner tonight, since he has fond memories of City Chicken from growing up. This was delicious! We served it with mushroom risotto. I must have simmered it at too high a heat, though... it ran out of juice and I had to add more stock. The pork was very tender and very, very tasty!!

This was so good. My Grandma Kokjohn, who lived in Ft. Madison, Iowa used to make this alot back in the 1950s. It was my favorite meal - she would serve it with mashed potatoes, creamed peas or carrots and homemade applesauce. I think she used the egg wash and cracker crumbs, but I thought I would try the flour and it came out great. Brought back some sweet memories.
