Garlic Parmesan Pork Chops

Yummy pan fried Pork Chops! Found the recipe on my iPhone through the "Big Oven" application.

4 1/2 inch boneless pork chops
1 c. grated parmesan cheese
1 c. seasoned bread crumbs
1 egg
1 TBS olive oil
Italian Seasonings, Salt and Pepper
3 cloves of garlic
Olive Oil for frying


Pat dry pork chops. Season with italian season, salt and pepper. Set up 3 shallow dishes in a row with the following to bread the chops:

One dish with parmesan cheese
One dish with egg and oil
One dish with seasoned bread crumbs

Dip pork in parmesan cheese, then dip in egg, and then dip in bread crumbs. Place coated chops on a wire rack with a baking sheet underneath to catch the drippings. Let sit for 5 minutes.

If you want to do this ahead of time, you can place breaded chops in wax paper in the refrigerator for up to an hour.

When ready, fill frying pan with olive oil, enough to come half way up the thickness of the chops. Chop fresh garlic and add to the heated oil. Fry garlic until brown. Remove.

Place chops in oil and cook for approximately 5 minutes. Turn over and cook the other side. Be sure to cut into them or check the temperature with a meat thermometer to make sure they are cooked through.

Enjoy!
