Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
2 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
4 bone-in pork chops, about 1/2-inch thick and patted dry (about 11/2 pounds total)
Extra-virgin olive oil, for shallow frying
Cooked spinach, for serving
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the flour in a shallow dish. Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix the breadcrumbs with the oregano and thyme in a third shallow bowl.
  • Dredge a pork chop in the flour, shaking off the excess, dip it into the eggs and then coat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a piece of wax paper or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pork chops.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat with enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the chops (about 1/4 cup). When the oil shimmers, add the chops and fry until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels briefly. Serve hot with cooked spinach and lemon wedges.

The coating also works well with skin on chicken pieces and pork chops you will need to adjust the cooking time, if using seasoned breadcrumbs then you can omit the garlic powder --- the coating amount is enough for 4 breasts but it can easily be doubled, If desired you can pound the breasts thinner with a meat mallet before coating :)

Tips:

  • Choose pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick for best results.
  • Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels before cooking to help them brown evenly.
  • Season the pork chops liberally with salt and pepper, or your favorite seasonings, before cooking.
