Mom's Tender and Juicy Pork Chops image

Brining the pork chops really makes a difference in this recipe. Once fried, they're tender and flavorful with a thin layer of crust. After they're fried, the pork chops simmer in a simple gravy filled with fresh onions and garlic. This is an easy to throw together dinner that requires very little work and is big in flavor. The...

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 17

BASIC BRINE
3 c water
2 c ice cubes
1/4 c Kosher salt
1/4 c sugar
PORK CHOPS
6 bone-in pork chops
1 egg, beaten with a little water to make an egg wash
Italian bread crumbs
vegetable or canola oil
1/2 large onion, sliced thin
2 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 c chicken broth
1/2 c dry white wine
1/2 tsp dried parsely flakes
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)

Steps:

  • 1. Place all brine ingredients in a plastic bowl that has a tight-fitting lid. Stir. Add pork chops. Cover and keep in the fridge for at least 4 hours. (I know this is an extra step but it really makes the pork chops super tender.)
  • 2. Remove pork chops from brine and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • 3. Dip pork chops in egg wash.
  • 4. Then Italian bread crumbs to coat.
  • 5. Heat oil in a large skillet. Just enough to coat the bottom. Fry pork chops in the skillet for approximately 3 minutes per side. They should be a nice golden brown.
  • 6. Then set them aside.
  • 7. Remove oil from skillet leaving approximately one tablespoon. Add the onions to the skillet and saute on medium heat until translucent - about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for one more minute - stirring.
  • 8. Add the chicken broth and white wine.
  • 9. Add seasonings to the skillet. Simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes.
  • 10. Put the pork chops back into the skillet with the chicken broth mixture. I place them around the sides of the skillet overlapping slightly to form a circle.
  • 11. Cover and cook over low heat for approximately 20 minutes. Serve over rice or noodles.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 (8 ounce) pork chops
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup minced onion
½ cup water
1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and stir in the garlic. Season chops with salt and black pepper. Pan fry until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Place the chops into the prepared baking dish, and scatter the onions over the chops.
  • Pour water into the skillet, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Scrape up and dissolve all the juices and browned flavor bits from the skillet into the water. Pour the mixture over the pork chops. Spread creamed corn evenly over the pork chops.
  • Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven until the pork is tender and no longer pink in the middle, about 45 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
