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.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Four 1/2-inch-thick, bone-in, pork chops (about 1-1/2 pounds), patted dry
Flour for dredging
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups fresh sourdough bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
Extra-virgin olive oil for shallow frying
2 lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Put the flour in a shallow bowl or lipped plate. Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with the salt and pepper. In a third shallow bowl mix the breadcrumbs with herbs.
  • Bread the chops. Dredge a chop in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the eggs, and finally coat the meat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set on a piece of waxed paper or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 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 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

ITALIAN BREADED PORK CHOPS



Italian Breaded Pork Chops image

My father's side of the family is Sicilian, and has been making these pork chops for at least 3 generations. My husband frequently requests these over my marinated and grilled pork chops when I give him a choice. If you do not have an oven-proof skillet, you may cook the chops on the stove at medium-low.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Chop Recipes     Baked

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 pork chop cutlets
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
2 cups dry bread crumbs
¼ cup olive oil
aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Season pork chops with garlic powder and seasoning salt. Dredge chops in flour; shake off excess. Dip into beaten egg. Lift up so excess egg drips back in the bowl. Press into bread crumbs to coat both sides. Place the breaded chops, unstacked, onto a plate.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-heat. Cook pork chops in hot oil until breading appears well browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a 9x13-inch baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pork chops are cooked through, 60 to 90 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy, flavorful crust on your pork chops, make sure to season them generously with salt and pepper before coating them in the lemony breadcrumb mixture.
  • If you don't have panko breadcrumbs on hand, you can make your own by pulsing regular breadcrumbs in a food processor until they're fine and airy.
  • Be sure to use fresh lemon zest and juice in the breadcrumb mixture for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of bottled lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the pork chops. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • If you're using a cast iron skillet, be sure to preheat it over medium-high heat before adding the pork chops. This will help to create a nice sear on the meat.
  • Don't overcook the pork chops! They should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.

Conclusion:

This recipe for pork chops with lemony breadcrumbs is a delicious and easy way to prepare this versatile meat. The combination of tangy lemon, crispy breadcrumbs, and juicy pork chops is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice, for a complete meal.
