Breaded Pork Chops
Make crispy pan fried Breaded Pork Chops in just 20 minutes. In this easy recipe, boneless pork chops are coated in ranch dressing, then breaded in Italian seasoned bread crumbs to make incredibly flavorful pork chops in no time at all!
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs, or 1 cup panko breadcrumbs combined with 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 4 boneless top loin pork chops, 1/2 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Pour the ranch dressing in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, mix the Italian-seasoned bread crumbs with the parmesan cheese.
- Dip each pork chop in the ranch dressing until it's covered on all sides, then in the breadcrumb mixture, patting to help the coating adhere.
- Add the butter and olive oil to a large skillet on the stove over medium-high heat.
- Once the butter has melted, and the oil is hot, add the pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F on a meat thermometer. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure the pork chops are close to 1/2 inch thick. This will result in a fully cooked, juicy center and crispy crust on the outside. If they’re too thick, the inside won’t cook in time, before the outside starts to burn. If the pork chops you purchased are closer to one inch thick, you’ll want to slice them in half lengthwise through the middle.
- Do not add the pork chops to the pan until it’s hot! If you add the pork chops to the pan when it’s cold, they will not sear on the outside and get that beautiful golden brown crust that we’re looking for. They also won’t cook fully in 5 minutes on each side.
- Store leftover cooked pork chops in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
