Crispy Pork with a Cracker Crust

My entire family LOVES this new crispy pork recipe! The first time I made it my 11-year-old was at a friend's house so she didn't get to try it with us....

Ingredients

  • 14 whole-grain crackers such as Triscuits or the Back to Nature version
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme dried
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 4 pork chops boneless and thin, about ¾” thick
  • Parmesan Cheese freshly grated (or homemade honey mustard sauce)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a food processor pulse together the crackers and spices (all the way down to the pepper) until crumbly. Spread on a large plate and set aside.
  2. Coat both sides of the pork chops with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. It helps to throw it all in a big baggie together and toss it around.
  3. Press the pork chops into the cracker mixture until well coated on all sides.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the pork chops until golden brown on both sides and no longer pink in the middle, about 3 to 4 minutes each side.
  5. Top with optional garnish if desired and serve. You can find the recipe to the sauce here - Homemade Honey Mustard.
  6. Alternatively you could bake the chops in the oven at 450 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes (or until no longer pink in the middle).
