Breaded pork chop recipes are among the tastiest and quickest meals you can make. Not only that, but they are kid friendly dinner recipes as well.
Pork schnitzel recipes are similar to breaded pork chop recipes, because schnitzel are just thin pork chops.
The only problem with making schnitzel is that they are quite large and it is difficult to cook many at once. How to cook pork chops enough for our family of 5, I used quick pork chop recipes, the favorite being below.
Served with boiled potatoes and red cabbage, this was one of our kid friendly dinner recipes I served often. Never any leftovers!
Breaded Pork Chops
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.
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.
