Hello Friends! How is your week going? I have been enjoying celebrating my birthday this month and am so grateful for the outpouring of good wishes from friends and family. Now more than ever, I am truly appreciating the ability to connect with those I am unable to spend time with right now. 

Today’s recipe is an easy one when you are looking for an easy weeknight idea and it doesn't take much effort. The result is a delicious lightly-breaded pork chop that is succulent and full of flavor. This recipe goes great with rice or potatoes and a vegetable or salad. Easy peasy!

Today’s recipe is a wonderful pork chop recipe that is super quick to make. Chances are you have everything you need to make these in your pantry if you have pork chops. I used bone-in chops, but you can use boneless too.

List of main ingredients:

Pork Chops – I like to pick a pork chop that is ½" or ¾" thick, but you can use thicker or thinner chops for this recipe. The pork needs to reach an internal temperature of 160°, so you may need to adjust the cooking time. Generally, it takes another minute for each ¼" thickness. Also, if you use bone-in pork chops, you may need to add another minute. 

Bread Crumbs– I prefer to use plain crumbs and season them myself. The crumbs are not only great for breading the chops, but also for topping casseroles and vegetables. 

Dried Herbs– I use dried herbs for these. If you have fresh herbs, they work well too! You will need to add double the amount of herbs if you use fresh. Dried herbs have more flavor than fresh. 

How to Fry Pork Chops

Frying pork chops is easy to do and requires only a few steps. 

 

  1. Heat butter in a skillet.
  2. Bread the pork chops. 
  3. Fry pork chops over medium

timesaving tips to streamline recipes

  • You can mix the dried herbs together and keep stored in an airtight container and this makes the recipe even simpler and quicker.
  • You can replace the plain bread crumbs with herb bread crumbs and skip the seasoning. I like to control the amount of salt so I always use plain bread crumbs.
  • Don't have bread or bread crumbs on hand? Try potato or corn chips.
