Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Lay out the pork chops and pat them dry with paper towels. If desired, trim excess fat.
Step 2
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. Fill the first bowl with all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk until well combined. In the third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Dredge each pork chop in the flour, ensuring an even coating. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 4
Dip the floured pork chop into the egg mixture, coating it completely.
Step 5
Press the pork chop firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even layer of breadcrumbs sticks to all sides.
Step 6
Repeat the breading process for all pork chops and place them on a plate or baking sheet.
Step 7
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough that a breadcrumb dropped into it sizzles immediately.
Step 8
Carefully place the pork chops into the skillet, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the breading is golden brown and the pork is cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F).
Step 9
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy them while they're hot and crunchy!
