Crispy, golden, and entirely dairy-free, these Breaded Pork Chops are a mouthwatering take on a classic comfort food. Seasoned to perfection with a blend of paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, each pork chop is coated in a dairy-free buttermilk substitute made with almond milk and apple cider vinegar, ensuring a tender and flavorful bite. The panko breadcrumb crust delivers a satisfying crunch, while a brief pan-sear followed by oven-baking locks in juiciness and flavor. Perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions, this recipe is not only simple to prepare but also caters to those with lactose intolerance or dairy-free dietary preferences. Serve these pork chops alongside roasted vegetables or your favorite grain for a wholesome, crowd-pleasing meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a shallow bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened almond milk and apple cider vinegar to create a dairy-free buttermilk substitute.
In another bowl, place the all-purpose flour.
In a final bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with the spice mixture.
Dip each pork chop into the flour, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
Next, immerse the flour-coated pork chops in the almond milk mixture.
Then, dredge the pork chops in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops.
Cook the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet with the pork chops to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
Serve warm and enjoy your dairy-free breaded pork chops!
