Ingredients
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crispiness)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
- 1/4 cup olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, place the flour. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
-
Coat the Pork Chops: Dip each pork chop first into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
-
Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
-
Fry the Pork Chops: Add the coated pork chops to the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
-
Garnish and Serve: Remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use panko breadcrumbs.
- Feel free to add additional spices or herbs to the breadcrumb mixture for extra flavor.
- Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or a fresh salad.
