Country Fried Pork Chops Recipe Is Simple Comfort Food (4 Ingredients, 20 Minutes) Pork Dinner High Protein Recipes Low Sugar Recipes Budget Recipes Low Sodium Recipes Gluten-free

This is another dinner inspired by one of those meal kits. Fried pork chops was the only way we ate them when I was growing up. My mom would pan-fry the pork then serve them hot and crispy with a bottle of sweet and sour sauce on the table (see my recipe for crispy sweet and sour pork chops). A recent meal kit option was fried pork chops with a honey mustard drizzle. What? That sounded delicious, so I had to give it a try.

This country fried pork chop recipe has just four ingredients if you serve them as-is without a saucy drizzle on top. The pork chops are crunchy, juicy and comforting dinner that's ready less than 20 minutes. Here is your shopping list for this pork recipe: boneless pork chops (check out the health benefits of pork), an egg, flour (regular or gluten-free) and vegetable oil for frying.

Whether or not you serve these quick and easy pork chops with a sauce on top is entirely up to you. I decided to give the honey mustard salad dressing a try, and loved the sweet and tangy flavor it added to the pork chops. My husband chose to not add a sauce and enjoyed them like they came out of the pan.

Serve these high-protein pork chops for dinner with your favorite side dishes. I served mine with browned butter mashed sweet potatoes and oven-roasted garlic green beans.

Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 2 

Ingredients

• 2 boneless pork chops
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup flour (all-purpose or gluten-free flour)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (more if needed)

Optional Sauces for Serving

• honey mustard salad dressing
• ranch salad dressing
• ketchup
• sweet and sour sauce

Here's how to make it: 

1. Place the pork chops between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound out to an even thickness (about 1/4 inches). Put the flour into a bowl and whisk the egg in another bowl. Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper. (For a gluten-free dinner, use gluten-free flour.)
2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Dip the pork chops into the flour, then into the egg, then into the flour again. Place them in the hot oil. Cook until golden on the bottom, then flip them over and continue to cook until cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
3. Remove the pork chops to a paper towel to remove any excess oil. Serve as-is or drizzle with your favorite sauce. (I used a honey mustard salad dressing, but you could use ranch, sweet and sour sauce or even ketchup. Do you!) Store any leftover pork chops in an airtight container in the fridge. This recipe can easily be doubled.
