Panko Breaded Pork Chops
Description
This recipe begins by seasoning pork loin chops lightly with salt and pepper. They are first coated in freshly grated Parmesan cheese which helps the breadcrumb mixture adhere. After dipping in beaten eggs, the chops are coated in a mix of panko breadcrumbs with oregano, basil, garlic powder, and onion powder.
The pork chops are cooked in a well-heated skillet with olive oil until golden brown and cooked to 150°F internally, approximately 6 minutes per side. This method creates a crisp, flavorful crust while keeping the pork moist. Serving with lemon wedges adds a subtle acidity that brightens the dish.
This coating technique, combining fresh Parmesan with herbed panko, distinguishes these chops with a rich flavor and crispy texture often not found in standard breaded pork recipes. They pair well with a variety of sides such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- 2 egg large
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs plain, regular or gluten-free
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp basil
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- ¾ cups Parmesan Cheese freshly grated from block cheese
- 4 pork loin chops 10-12 ounces each, 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick, center cut
- olive oil light
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper freshly ground, to taste
- lemon optional, for serving, wedges
Instructions
- Lightly beat eggs in a pie plate. In another pie plate, thoroughly combine Panko, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and onion powder. In a third pie plate, place freshly grated cheese.
- Sprinkle each pork chop lightly with kosher salt and pepper on both sides. Coat the chops completely with fresh cheese, pressing down to adhere. Dip pork chops into beaten eggs, and then completely coat with Panko mixture. Pat to adhere on both sides.
- Heat 4 TB oil in large heavy skillet (nonstick works well) over medium heat. Add pork chops one or two at a time (do not overcrowd), cooking uncovered until golden brown and 150F at center – about 6 min per side. Repeat with remaining chops. Transfer to plates and serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
Notes
- Use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version.
- Freshly grate the Parmesan from block cheese for better flavor and coating adhesion.
- Serve with lemon wedges to add a fresh citrus note.
