Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops
- 2 cups Saltine crackers
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil, ensuring it evenly coats the pan.
Place the saltine crackers in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor. Transfer the crumbs into a shallow dish.
In a second shallow dish, mix the flour with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a third shallow dish, beat the eggs and milk together until fully combined.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to ensure the coating adheres properly.
Dredge each pork chop in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Press each pork chop into the crushed cracker crumbs, coating all sides and gently pressing the crumbs so they adhere securely.
Place the coated pork chops into the hot skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature of the meat reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Allow the pork chops to rest for 5 minutes before serving to lock in their juices.
Serve hot with your choice of sides, like mashed potatoes or a mixed green salad.
