Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Remove pork chops from the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the all-purpose flour. In the second dish, whisk the eggs and milk together. In the third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip them into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat them evenly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure adherence.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the breaded pork chops to the pan in a single layer. Cook each side for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the breaded pork chops hot, with your choice of side dishes like mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad.
