Breaded pork chop recipes are something I make when I run out of ideas. They are quick, delicious, and special enough for company.
Pork schnitzel are just thin pork chops. If you buy boneless pork, pound them thin and follow the recipe below - just cook for a much shorter time.
The only problem with making them as schnitzel is that they are quite large and it is difficult to cook many at once. So, I just keep them nice and thick and that way they are also juicy and tender. I can cook enough for our family of 5 easily in one frying pan.
Served with boiled potatoes and vegetables (or salad), it's a treat that's sure to please.
Breaded Pork Chop Recipes
Ingredients:
4 pork chops, trimmed of fat, with or without bone
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
1 egg
3/4 tsp. Seasoning Salt, see hints below
olive oil and butter for frying
Instructions:
Heat on high about 2 tbsp. olive oil (or butter) in a large flat-bottomed frying pan, enough just to cover the bottom.
Mix egg and 1 tbsp. water in a flat soup bowl.
Mix bread crumbs and Seasoning Salt in another flat soup bowl.
Take first pork chop and coat with bread crumbs, then dip in egg mixture, then re-coat with more bread crumbs. Place into hot fat. Repeat with remaining chops.
Turn chops when nicely browned on one side.
Cover frying pan and lower heat to gently continue browning and cooking the chops until done. Turn once or twice during cooking. 1-inch thick chops will take about 20 minutes. Thin, schnitzel-type chops will only take several minutes on each side.
Hints
I usually use an oil/butter mixture. Pure butter tastes great, but adding the olive oil makes it a bit healthier. If you prefer, just use oil.
The Seasoning Salt I like is a "no-name" brand. Use any that you like, or just use salt and pepper to season.
Add Parmesan cheese to bread crumbs or other herbs of your choice to vary recipe.
