And it\u2019s up to you what to serve with the meat, be it Brussels sprouts or biscuits. However, if you want an elegantly simple and perfectly delightful way to prepare the chops themselves, do yourself a favor and follow this breaded pork chop recipe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This dish calls for just five ingredients, and that includes the cooking oil and the pork chops themselves. A surprise breading brings the flavor, and it\u2019s a flavor you&#8217;ll thoroughly enjoy, so let\u2019s get cooking.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Breaded Pork Chops<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"recipe-ingredients__list recipe-ingredients__collection splitColumns\">\n<li><strong><strong>Egg: <\/strong><\/strong>The recipe calls for one large egg, lightly beaten. Make sure the yolk and the whites are fully combined, but don\u2019t whip the egg so much that it starts to froth or thicken.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Milk: <\/strong><\/strong>The 2% milk is ideal for this recipe, but of course, whole milk is fine as well if that\u2019s what you have in the fridge.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Saltine crackers: <\/strong><\/strong>Make sure the crackers are thoroughly crushed. You can do this by placing them in a bag and working them over with a kitchen mallet or simply with your hands.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Pork loin chops: <\/strong><\/strong>Use boneless pork loin chops that are about an inch thick. Trim any excess fat, if you spot it.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Canola oil: <\/strong><\/strong>The canola oil can be supplanted by a different vegetable oil or other neutral oil, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/avocado-oil-benefits\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/avocado-oil-benefits\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">avocado oil<\/a>, if need be.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Dredge and bread the pork chops<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2054365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Breaded-Pork-Chops_TOHD24_73_KristinaVanni_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"dredging the pork chops by dipping it in egg and bread crumbs\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Kristina V\u00e4nni for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a shallow bowl, combine the egg and milk.

Just make sure the internal temperature of the poultry reaches 160\u00b0 before you remove it from the pan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Breaded Pork Chops<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">You can store leftover cooked breaded pork chops in an airtight container or airtight wrap in the fridge for three to four days. To reheat the meat, place portions on a foil-lined or parchment-covered baking sheet in an oven heated to 350\u00b0 for 10 to 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze cooked pork chops?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Yes, cooked pork chops can be frozen for up to six months. After that, the meat may begin to dry out or lose quality, but it will still be technically safe to eat.<\/p>\n<h2>Breaded Pork Chop Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2054368\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Breaded-Pork-Chops_TOHD24_73_KristinaVanni_4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Breaded Pork Chops on a serving plate\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Kristina V\u00e4nni for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do you get breading to stick to pork chops?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">The main culprit for breading that won\u2019t adhere is meat that&#8217;s too wet. Try patting the pork chops dry with paper towels before dipping them into the egg mixture. If the breading falls off your pork chops, it&#8217;s possible the oil wasn\u2019t hot enough, either. Proper oil temperature is essential when frying pork chops to tender, juicy perfection. Test the oil for readiness with a digital thermometer (it should read approximately 350\u00b0), or drop a piece of breading into the oil. The oil is ready if the bread crumb immediately starts to bubble and float to the top.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you bake breaded pork chops?<\/h3>\n<p>You can definitely make breaded pork chops in the oven, and some of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-10-pork-chop-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-10-pork-chop-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">favorite pork chop recipes<\/a>\u00a0are baked, so if you\u2019re looking to avoid excess oil, baked breaded pork chops are a great option. For the oven version, preheat the oven to 425\u00b0 and bake the breaded pork chops on a rack for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat reads 145\u00b0.

If you toss the chops in flour before you dip it in egg-milk mixture, the coating won't fall off.

Adding a little Parmesan cheese to the mix can help the breading stick together, while also keeping it from falling off the pork chops. The main culprit for breading that won\u2019t adhere is meat that is too wet. Try patting the pork chops dry with paper towels before dipping them into the egg mixture. If the breading falls off of your pork chops, it's possible the oil wasn\u2019t hot enough, either. Proper oil temperature is essential when frying pork chops to tender, juicy perfection. Test the oil for readiness with a digital thermometer (it should read approximately 350\u00b0) or drop a piece of breading into the oil. The oil is ready if the breadcrumb immediately starts to bubble and float to the top.
