Ingredients
- 4 pork chops thick cut ¾ to 1 inch
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 4 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper. This will help prevent the breading from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Set up 3 stations, I use pie plates for this.
- Station 1 - all purpose flour
- Station 2- mix together eggs and milk
- Station 3 - mix together panko bread crumbs, paprika, garlic powder, thyme, salt & pepper
- Dust pork chops with flour, shake off excess.
- Immediately dip into egg mixture.
- Next press into bread crumb mixture ensuring a good coating of bread crumbs.
- Heat olive oil to large frying pan.
- Brown the pork chops on medium heat just until golden brown on each side.
- Transfer to baking pan to finish cooking in the oven for thicker cut pork chops.
- Bake at 350º for 20-30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
- If using thinner cut pork chops you can skip baking in the oven and just use the stovetop.
