Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls: place the flour in the first bowl; beat the eggs and water together in the second bowl; and combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in the third bowl.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the floured pork chop into the egg mixture, coating it completely, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating all over.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded pork chops to the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each pork chop for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 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.
Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
