Best City Chicken
I grew up in northeast Ohio and this was my all time favorite dish when I was little...now I make it, and my family loves it too! I like to use all pork for my city chicken; however tradition is to use pork and veal combined.

But, if you can't find that, then cubing your own pork will work fine.
