Breaded Pork Chops

TasteTester's Note:

This recipe is a little different from others in that it uses worcestershire sauce in the egg mix. We love how it gives the chops a little extra "zing." We usually have this with a green vegetable and potatoes. I've also listed a variation of this recipe to make a cheese-topped pork chop. Note: If you're making the chops without cheese, you might want to try learninscratch's directions for a delicious orange sauce -- they can be found in her review.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 1 -2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs
• 4 boneless pork loin chops
• 2 tablespoons oil
• cooking spray, such as Pam

Directions:

1. In small bowl, combine flour, salt, paprika and pepper; mix well. In another small bowl, combine egg and worcestershire sauce. Coat pork chops with seasoned flour; dip in egg mixture and coat with crumbs.
2. In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add chops; cook until browned on both sides. Reduce heat to medium; cook 5-7 minutes or until pork is no longer pink in center.
3. For oven-baked pork chops: Prepare as directed above. Place in a shallow baking pan that has been sprayed with a cooking oil such as Pam. Bake at 425 degrees F. for 30-35 minutes or until no longer pink in center.
4. To make a cheese-topped pork chop: Decrease bread crumbs to 1/4 cup. Mix crumbs with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. When chops are thoroughly cooked, top each with a slice of mozzarella cheese and tomato slice. Cover; heat until tomato is hot and cheese begins to melt.

My Husband and I loved this recipe !! It was easy and delicious. I fried the chops in 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil instead of baking them. They were crunchy and flavorful. Thank you for the recipe !!

Great, simple recipe. I needed a pork chop recipe and it was featured today, so I thought I'd try it. The whole family liked it and we will be making it again. I love that it was so simple with things I have here anyway. I doubled the recipe as we have a big family, but they came out great in the oven. Thanks!
