Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 slices Lemon wedges (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place the pork chops on a cutting board and use a meat mallet to lightly pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Step 2
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one containing the flour, the second containing the eggs whisked with milk, and the third containing a mix of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Dredge each pork chop in the flour, ensuring an even coating. Shake off any excess.
Step 4
Dip the floured pork chop into the egg mixture, making sure it is completely coated.
Step 5
Press the pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture, covering all sides and gently pressing the crumbs to adhere.
Step 6
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot (but not smoking), lay the breaded pork chops in the pan without overcrowding. Cook in batches if necessary.
Step 8
Cook each pork chop for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 9
Transfer the cooked pork chops to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve immediately with optional lemon wedges for squeezing over the pork chops.
