Ingredients
Scale
- 4 thick-cut boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- Lemon wedges (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by gathering all ingredients and setting up plates for breading. Preheat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- In one bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Place breadcrumbs on a separate plate.
- Dip each seasoned chop into the egg mixture first, letting excess drip off before rolling in breadcrumbs until fully coated.
- Carefully place each breaded chop into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from oil using tongs and let drain on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges and your choice of sides.
