Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 16m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
One 6-ounce bone-in center-cut pork chop
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, cut in half, 1 half cut into wedges
One 14.5-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
10 ounces baby spinach

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Put the flour in a shallow dish. Season the pork chop with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour and add to the skillet. Cook until golden, about 5 minutes, then flip and cook to desired doneness, about 3 minutes more. Give the lemon half a good squeeze over the chop.
  • Next, add the cannellini beans and spinach to a medium skillet set over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through and the spinach is just wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Give the beans and spinach a good squeeze of the lemon half.
  • Serve the beans and spinach alongside the pork chop with the lemon wedges for squeezing over.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in, center-cut pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. This will ensure that they cook evenly and stay juicy.
  • Use a flavorful breading: The breading is what gives the pork chops their flavor, so make sure to use a combination of herbs, spices, and seasonings that you enjoy. A simple combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika is a good place to start.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: When baking the pork chops, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the baking sheet, the pork chops will steam instead of bake and they won't be as crispy.
  • Bake the pork chops until they are cooked through: The best way to tell if pork chops are cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the pork chop and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: Once the pork chops are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This recipe for lighter oven-fried pork chops is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this classic comfort food. The pork chops are coated in a flavorful breading and baked until they are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad, for a complete meal.
