Breaded Pork Chops
Description
This breaded pork chop recipe uses thin-cut boneless chops that are first dipped in a combination of beaten eggs and lemon juice for moisture and brightness. They are then coated evenly with a blend of Italian breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and powdered onion and garlic, creating a savory crust.
The chops are cooked in a skillet with olive oil and butter, which promotes browning and adds richness to the crust. Cooking in batches ensures even frying and maintains the crisp texture.
The finished pork chops have a golden, crunchy exterior and a juicy interior. They can be served immediately with sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or salad for a balanced meal.
Ingredients
- 1.25 lbs pork chops 6 chops, thin-cut, boneless
- ¾ cup breadcrumbs Italian style
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 egg
- 1 lemon juiced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 2 tablespoon butter divided, unsalted
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, onion powder, and garlic powder until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs and lemon juice together.
- Dip each pork chop in the egg mixture and coat it completely. Then put the wet pork chop in the breadcrumb mixture and cover completely on both sides.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place 4 pork chops in hot oil/butter and cook each side until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. You don't want to overcrowd the pan. Working in batches is best.
- Remove them from the pan and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Heat the remaining olive oil and butter in the same skillet. Cook rest of the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to plate with the other pork chops.
- Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
