PORK CHOPS (Breaded)

Submitted by Alan Leonetti

"I developed this recipe, which makes the most delicious pan-fried, breaded pork chops. I used to use bread crumbs, but the crushed corn flakes are so much better."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 4 pork chops (1/2" thick)
• flour (for dredging)
• 2 large eggs (slightly beaten)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ground black pepper
• 1 1⁄2 cups crushed corn flakes
• 1⁄4 teaspoon dried tarragon
• 1⁄4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1⁄4 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1⁄4 teaspoon dried basil
• extra virgin olive oil

directions

1. Pat the chops dry with paper towel.
2. Place the flour in a shallow bowl.
3. Place beaten eggs into a second bowl& season with salt and pepper.
4. Place the crushed corn flakes into a third bowl seasoned with the tarragon, thyme, marjoram and basil.
5. The crushed corn flakes can be found in the supermarket next to the Shake-n-bake.
6. Dredge a chop in the flour and shake off the excess.
7. Then dip it into the eggs and then into the corn flakes.
8. Then place it onto either waxed paper or a baking sheet.
9. Repeat with all of the remaining chops.
10. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to come halfway up the sides of the chops.
11. When the oil is hot enough and shimmers, add the chops and fry 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
12. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.

On 6/21/11 I made this for mine and SO's dinner. The two chops that I had were on the thick side( 1 inch ) ,the recipe was followed exactly as it was written.Since the chops were on the the thick side,a little more cooking time was added.And as the others said "The corn flakes seems to have made the difference.Thanks for taking the time to post and, " Keep Smiling :) "

Thank You Alan,you did it again. Another great recipe. I made these chops with cruched special k cereal,I didnt have any corn flakes on hand.. Cooked the chops in a cast iron skillet and put them in the oven till serving time. They were flavorful and tender.

These were really good. The corn flakes make a nice crunchy, rich tasting crust and the spice combo is great.

If your tired of the breading mess, I recommend you try this, I made them last night and served country gravy over them with mashed potatoes, and my brother who does NOT touch pork, apparently could not escape the aroma and had to try...his comment was, "OMG, this is amazing! I only used basil as a sesoning bc i didnt have the rest :( I will have to pick up the rest next time im at the store to get the full effect! (Makes a nice pork sandwich with mustard the next day!)
