Pan Fried Pork Chops

February 4, 2014 by Katie Leave a Comment

I recently gave pork chops another try…it didn’t really work for me.

Don’t get me wrong, the chops had good flavor.  My husband enjoyed them.  I’m just not a boneless pork chop fan I guess.  To me, the meat is tough and a bit chewy.

I tried *really* hard to make these chops tender too.  I pounded them out, then butterflied them, then pounded some more.  They still weren’t to my liking.  I think I’ll stick to chicken from now on…

If you are a fan of pork chops, though, then you should give this recipe a try.  It’s simple and quick, perfect for a busy weeknight.  And, I did enjoy the breading on the pork; it was cheesy and delicious.  I served it with a quick and easy garlicky broccoli rabe (recipe coming real soon!).

Start by setting up your breading station…

  • Crack an egg into a bowl.

image

  • Whisk in 2 tablespoons of milk.  (I used skim.)

image

  • Pour about ½ cup flour into a shallow dish.
  • Season with some ground black pepper.

image

  • Stir with a fork to incorporate the pepper.

image

  • Pour ½ cup Italian style breadcrumbs into another shallow dish.

image

  • Place your pork chops between two pieces of plastic wrap.  (I apparently ran out of plastic wrap, so I used wax paper instead…always improvising!)

image

image

  • Pound your chops to your desired thinness.  (It’s quite the workout for your arm!)

image

  • If you want your chops even thinner (like me), butterfly them (aka carefully slice them in half).

image

  • Heat some canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Press your chops into the flour.
  • Shake off any excess.

image

  • Dip the chops in the egg mixture.

image

  • Press each chop into the breadcrumbs, until fully coated.

  • Place the chops in the skillet.

  • Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side (depending on the thickness of your chops).

Serve immediately.

Top each chop with some grated Parmesan cheese.  Enjoy!
