Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Place the pork chops on a clean surface and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps with browning during cooking.
Step 2
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and onion powder. In the second dish, beat the eggs lightly with a fork. In the third dish, spread out the breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour, then dip the pork chop into the beaten eggs. Finally, press the pork chop into the breadcrumbs to coat evenly. Repeat with all pork chops.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt and foam while combining with the oil.
Step 5
Once the oil and butter are hot, add the pork chops to the skillet in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 6
Cook the pork chops for 4–5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked pork chops to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with remaining pork chops.
Step 8
Serve immediately with mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, or a side of pickled cucumbers for an authentic Polish meal.
