Pan Fried Pork Chops
Description
This recipe uses a breading blend of almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to season the surface of each pork chop. After dipping in beaten egg to help adherence, the pork chops are coated evenly with the breading mix.
The chops are cooked in a hot skillet with olive oil and butter, frying a few minutes per side until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, ensuring juiciness and safety. The combination of the nutty almond flour and savory Parmesan develops a textured, flavorful crust while keeping the interior moist.
This dish can be served alongside vegetables or salads for a protein-centered meal. The use of almond flour provides a low-carb alternative to traditional breadcrumbs, and the cooking method promotes a crispy exterior without deep frying.
