Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
2 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
4 bone-in pork chops, about 1/2-inch thick and patted dry (about 11/2 pounds total)
Extra-virgin olive oil, for shallow frying
Cooked spinach, for serving
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the flour in a shallow dish. Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix the breadcrumbs with the oregano and thyme in a third shallow bowl.
  • Dredge a pork chop in the flour, shaking off the excess, dip it into the eggs and then coat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a piece of wax paper or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pork chops.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat with enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the chops (about 1/4 cup). When the oil shimmers, add the chops and fry until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels briefly. Serve hot with cooked spinach and lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops. Look for center-cut, bone-in pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. These will cook evenly and stay juicy.
  • Season the pork chops well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder, to taste.
  • Sear the pork chops over high heat. This will create a nice crust and help to keep the juices in.
  • Reduce the heat and cook the pork chops until they are cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.
