How to Make Easy Crunchy Pork Chops
- Trim excess fat from the pork chops.
- Place each pork chop between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound each chop to reduce its thickness by about half. Be careful not to pound them too thin!
- In a shallow, wide bowl, beat the egg.
- Add the Dijon mustard, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to the beaten egg. Whisk to combine.
- On a large plate, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated.
- Dredge each coated pork chop in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the breaded pork chops on a wire rack to allow them to rest and dry slightly for about 5 minutes. This helps create a crispier crust.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a drop of water sizzles on contact.
- Carefully place the pork chops in the hot skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F).
- Remove from skillet and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your incredibly crunchy and juicy pork chops!
