Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 piece large egg
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a second shallow dish, beat the egg with the milk until well combined.

Step 4

In a third shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Dredge each pork chop in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip the chop into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, press the chop into the panko breadcrumbs, coating evenly. Set aside on a plate.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Once the butter is melted and the skillet is hot, carefully add the pork chops, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden-brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Remove the pork chops from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, green beans, or a fresh salad.
