How to Make Breaded Fried Pork Chops

We love breaded fried pork chops! But there's a trick to getting them nicely done on the inside without over-browning the breading. The solution? Pound the meat thin before cooking. Here's how: Before breading, place a boneless chop between two sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet or a rolling pin, pound pork to a ¼- to ½-inch thickness. Season your chops with salt, pepper, and/or other spices and herbs. Dip seasoned chops in an egg wash (1 egg + 2 Tbsp. water or milk) in a shallow bowl. Dip chops in your desired breading (see the Test Kitchen Tip below). You'll need about 1 cup breading for four chops. In a 12-inch heavy skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil or canola oil over medium-high temperature to cook pork chops. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown on the outside. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the pork should register 145°F for doneness. Allow chops to stand at least 3 minutes before serving. Test Kitchen Tip: Our Breaded Fried Pork Chops with Apples and Greens recipe calls on homemade bread crumbs for the coating; other great coatings for breaded fried pork chops include cracker crumbs, purchased dried bread crumbs, panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs), and crushed stuffing mix. If desired, you can also simply use flour seasoned with a little salt, pepper, and paprika.

How to Pan-Fry Chops Without Breading

Can you fry pork chops without flour? Of course! In fact, sautéing pork chops in a skillet with little or no oil is generally quicker, easier, and healthier than frying chops with breading.

Here's how to fry pork chops without flour:

Choose boneless or bone-in loin, sirloin, or rib chops, cut ¾- to 1-inch thick. Sprinkle chops with salt, black pepper, your favorite homemade seasoning blend, or purchased seasoning blend. Select a skillet that is heavy and the right size for the amount of meat you're cooking. Lightly coat the skillet with nonstick cooking spray or use a heavy nonstick skillet ($100-$120, Williams Sonoma). Preheat the skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add meat. Don't add any liquid and don't cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until internal temperature registers 145°F on an instant-read thermometer (for ¾- to 1-inch-thick chops, plan on 6 to 10 minutes), turning meat occasionally. If meat browns too quickly, reduce heat to medium-low. Tent chops with foil and let stand 3 minutes before serving. Test Kitchen Tip: Wondering how to pan-fry pork chops without drying them out? It's a question of internal temperature. Stop cooking the chops when they reach 145°F on an instant-read thermometer for juicy-on-the-inside results.
