Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by patting the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture, which helps the breading adhere better.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour and coconut flour. Mix in garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper to create the breading mixture.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and whisk in the coconut milk until well blended.
Step 4
Dip each pork chop first into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Allow any excess egg to drip off, then transfer the pork chop to the flour mixture.
Step 5
Firmly press each pork chop into the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides. Tap off any excess flour.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully place the breaded pork chops in the pan.
Step 7
Cook the pork chops for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Step 9
Serve the Paleo Crispy Breaded Pork Chops warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
