Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 bone-in pork chops about 1-inch thick
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs plain or seasoned
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Meat mallet or rolling pin
  • Shallow dishes for breading
  • Tongs or a fork for flipping
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. Start by gently pounding the pork chops to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
  2. In three shallow dishes, place flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in the third.
  3. Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
  4. Coat each chop in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally press into the breadcrumb mixture.
  5. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  6. Place the breaded pork chops in the skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 145°F for safety.
  8. Remove the chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for a few minutes.
  9. Slice into the pork chops and serve them hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

Always let the pork chops rest after cooking to keep them juicy and flavorful.
