The Very Best Pork Chops

I recently made these for my family and it was a huge hit!!! Now, it is a favorite around our house and is definitely my new favorite way to fix pork chops.


The Very Best Pork Chops

3 eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons dried parsley
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
6 boneless pork chops {I use thin, breakfast cut chops, but you can use any cut boneless chop}

* Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

* Beat together the eggs and milk. In a separate bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and parsley.

* Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-proof skillet {I use my big iron skillet} over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until lightly browned {be careful to not burn!!!}. Remove garlic, reserving for other uses.

* Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, then into the bread crumb mixture, coating evenly. Place coated pork chops in the skillet, and brown about 5 minutes on each side.

* Place the skillet and pork chops in the preheated oven, and cook 15-25 minutes, or to an internal temperature of 160 degrees. {the amount of cooking time will vary according to how thick your pork chops are}

These are the best pork chops, ever!! And, if you want, these can easily be baked in a large casserole dish at 325 degrees until juices run clear and they have an internal temperature of 160 degrees. They are excellent either way.

Enjoy!!!
