Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt divided
2 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs or regular dried, unseasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon dried oregano optional
1 tablespoon dried parsley optional
1 dried basil optional
1 teaspoon garlic powder optional
2 pounds boneless pork chops ½ inch thick; or see the recipe description for other options
extra-virgin olive oil about 1 1/4 cups, for frying
chopped fresh parsley optional, for serving
marinara sauce optional, warmed, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°F and set a sheet pan inside.
  • Place flour in a wide, shallow bowl. In a second wide, shallow bowl, beat eggs well with 1/2 teaspoon salt. In a third wide, shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, and any additional seasoning (oregano, dried parsley, basil, and garlic powder).
  • Pat pork chops dry, then dredge 1 or 2 pieces at a time in flour with your left hand. Gently shake off any excess and transfer pieces to the egg mixture. Use your right hand to turn the pieces in egg, then let any extra drip back into the bowl and transfer pork to the crumbs. Use your left hand to press crumbs into both sides. Set coated pork chops on a plate. Repeat to coat remaining pork chops.
  • Set a large regular or nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add enough olive oil to cover the pan by ¼ inch. When it's hot, pan-fry a few breaded pork pieces at a time until golden-brown, turning once, about 4 minutes total. As they're done, transfer them to the sheet pan in the oven. Repeat to cook remaining pork chops, additional additional olive oil as needed.
  • Transfer pork chops to a platter or plates. If you like, sprinkle them with fresh parsley anad serve with marinara sauce.
