PAN-FRIED BREADED PORK CHOPS



Pan-Fried Breaded Pork Chops image

Look for beautiful good-quality pork, such as Berkshire, and ask for center-cut loin chops with bone. For the bread crumbs, use day-old firm white sandwich bread or French loaf, cubed and whirled in a food processor, for about three cups of soft, fluffy crumbs. Dry, fine store-bought crumbs will not yield the same result. Make sure to fry these chops very gently over medium-high heat, to allow the bread-crumb coating to brown slowly, creating a crisp, golden crust. Serve with a tart salad or braised greens, such as broccoli rabe.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (8-ounce) center-cut pork chops, about 1/2-inch thick
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
Small pinch of cayenne powder
All-purpose flour, for sprinkling
3 cups fresh bread crumbs (from 8 slices crustless day-old sandwich bread)
1 cup clarified butter, extra-virgin olive oil or lard, plus more as needed
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Lay pork chops on a baking sheet, and season well on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Combine eggs and milk in a low, flat bowl. Season with salt, pepper and the small pinch of cayenne.
  • Sprinkle flour generously over the chops on both sides, then shake off excess.
  • Submerge the floured chops in the egg mixture, and turn them over several times to coat well. Leave chops in egg mixture for 5 minutes.
  • Use your left hand to remove a chop from the batter and drain off excess liquid. Place chop on a baking sheet and, with your right hand, heavily sprinkle with bread crumbs on both sides. Repeat with remaining chops.
  • Sprinkle each chop again with crumbs, patting with your hand to make sure crumbs adhere and coat well. Refrigerate, uncovered, until ready to fry.
  • Set a wide cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add clarified butter to a depth of 1/2 inch. When butter is hot, lay in the chops without crowding, and let them fry very gently, about 4 to 5 minutes per side, until beautifully golden brown. (Turn down heat if they seem to be browning too fast.) If your pan is small, cook in 2 batches and keep finished chops warm in a 250-degree oven.
  • Blot cooked chops on paper towels. Transfer to a warm platter or individual plates. Serve with lemon wedges.

Crispy Breaded Pork Chops image

With a salty, flavorful crust and juicy, tender meat in the center, these crispy breaded pork chops remind me of my grandmother's... so simple, yet so delicious! The perfect comfort meal when served with mashed potatoes and green beans.

Provided by NicoleMcmom

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

cooking spray
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon water
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
4 (5 ounce) bone-in, center-cut pork chops
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly coat a wire rack with cooking spray and set in a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Whisk eggs and water together in a shallow dish. Place bread crumbs in a second shallow dish.
  • Season pork chops evenly with salt and pepper. Dip and coat chops in egg, allow excess to drip off, then dip in bread crumbs until well coated.
  • Heat 1/2 of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place 2 chops in the skillet and cook until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until crisp on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to the prepared rack. Heat remaining oil in the skillet and repeat to sear remaining chops.
  • Bake pork chops in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 155 degrees F (68 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Use thick-cut pork chops for best results. Thin chops will dry out easily.
  • To ensure even cooking, pound the pork chops to an even thickness before breading.
  • Use a shallow dish for dredging the pork chops in the egg mixture and bread crumbs. This will help to prevent the breading from getting too thick.
  • Press the bread crumbs firmly onto the pork chops to help them adhere.
  • Use a heavy skillet over medium-high heat to cook the pork chops. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Cook the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Breaded ranch pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the breading is crispy and flavorful. This recipe is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
