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

Coat pork chops with breadcrumbs and herbs and then crisp them to perfection in a skillet.

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.

PAN-FRIED BREADED PORK CHOPS

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 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:

  • Use a meat mallet to tenderize the pork chops before breading them. This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Make sure the pork chops are completely coated in the breadcrumb mixture before frying them. This will help them brown evenly and prevent the breading from falling off.
  • Fry the pork chops in a large skillet over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular choices include mashed potatoes, green beans, and corn.

Conclusion:

Zippy breaded pork chops are a quick and easy meal that is sure to please the whole family. They are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor. Serve them with your favorite sides for a complete meal that is sure to satisfy.
