Italian Breaded Pork Chops

Description

My father’s side of the family is Sicilian, and has been making these pork chops for at least 3 generations. My husband frequently requests these over my marinated and grilled pork chops when I give him a choice. If you do not have an oven-proof skillet, you may cook the chops on the stove at medium-low.

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 ½ cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
  • 4 pork chops

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C).
  2. Beat eggs and milk together in a shallow dish.
  3. Mix bread crumbs
  4. Parmesan cheese
  5. and parsley together in a second shallow dish.
  6. Heat oil in a large
  7. oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and cook until just golden brown to flavor the oil. Remove garlic with a slotted spoon and reserve for another use.
  8. Dip each pork chop into egg mixture
  9. then bread crumb mixture until well coated.
  10. Place pork chops in the skillet and cook until golden and crisp
  11. about 5 minutes on each side.
  12. Transfer the skillet into the preheated oven and bake chops for 25 minutes
  13. or to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
