Stateside I feel like we’d just call it a fried pork chop regardless if it’s pounded thin or not. But I’m it changes regionally as well, i.e. coke, cola, Pepsi

Chicken fried steak, pork fried steak. The cooking technique is the same as schnitzel.

Chicken fried steak is beef. The "steak" part refers to beef. "Chicken fried" refers to the cooking technique. Batter and fry it like chicken. Schnitzel is breaded differently and is pounded flat.

It's all breaded and fried meat in the end, but comparing chicken fried steak to Schnitzel is like comparing beer-battered cod to chicken fried steak.
