- In a shallow bowl, mix 1 1/2 cup of flour, paprika, and garlic powder. In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until thoroughly blended. In a third bowl, combine the crushed cracker crumbs, potato flakes, and 1/2 cup of flour.
- With a fork, prick the pork chops thoroughly to tenderize the meat. Season the chops with salt and pepper.
- Gently press the pork chops into the flour to coat, and shake off the excess flour. Dip into the beaten egg mixture, then press each chop into the cracker crumb mixture. Gently toss between your hands so any crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away
- Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat, and gently place the pork chops into the hot oil. Fry the chops until the meat is no longer pink in the center and the crust is crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chops from the pan, and drain the excess oil on paper towels.

CRISPY PAN-FRIED CHICKEN BREAST (OR PORK CHOPS)
The coating also works well with skin on chicken pieces and pork chops you will need to adjust the cooking time, if using seasoned breadcrumbs then you can omit the garlic powder --- the coating amount is enough for 4 breasts but it can easily be doubled, If desired you can pound the breasts thinner with a meat mallet before coating :)

Steps:
- 1. Get out a nice large skillet with a lid. Heat it up with some oil, about 2-3 Tbsp.
- 2. Put the mustard in a small bowl and brush it on both sides of each pork chop. Put the flour on a plate or wax paper, then dredge each chop in the flour. Salt and pepper them as well.
- 3. Fry the pork chops on each side until browned. Now pour in the soup, then fill the soup can 3/4 full of water to add to the skillet. Return to a simmer and put a lid on it. Check it once in a while to make sure it does not dry out too much. Let simmer about 45 minutes, depending on the thickness of your pork chops. Sometimes I will lift the chops up to let sauce run under them. They will be fork tender and wonderful over rice or mashed potatoes.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork chops. Pork chops that are 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling will be the most tender and flavorful.
- Tenderize the pork chops. Pounding the pork chops with a meat mallet or using a tenderizing marinade will help to break down the tough fibers and make the meat more tender.
- Use a flavorful breading. The breading is what gives chicken fried pork chops their signature flavor. Use a combination of flour, breadcrumbs, and seasonings to create a flavorful coating.
- Fry the pork chops in hot oil. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the pork chops are added. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the pork chops from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When frying the pork chops, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the pork chops will not cook evenly.
- Cook the pork chops until they are cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. They should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
Chicken fried pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips in this recipe, you can make sure that your chicken fried pork chops turn out perfectly every time.
