Breaded Pork Chops Plus A Pork Giveaway #Publix4Pork

It’s the final installment of my 4-week series of pork recipes I’ve published in partnership with The Motherhood, Publix, and The National Pork Board.

Or as my girls call it, “that thing for your work where we have to eat pork all the time.”

There’s been 3 great recipes and dinners leading up to today’s finale:

The fourth and final pork meal I handed off to Patrick was tasked with making was a dinner with this week’s Publix special, Pork Sirloin Cutlets. The theme of the week is to create a meal inspired by comfort foods made healthy.

Because “comfort” means “fattening” to me, I scoured the Pork Be Inspired recipe database for a meal that was both kid-friendly and easy to make but also fit the bill as “healthy.” What did I find?

Breaded Pork Chops

4 boneless pork loin chops, 3/4-inch thick
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 egg, slightly beaten
1-2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

In my house, this is where I hand over this recipe print-out from Pork Be Inspired to Patrick, so I’m assuming he used all of the steps from Pork Be Inspired in the recipe below to make our breaded pork chops. Only, I think maybe he heated the oil too high because the chops came out slightly past “done.”

In small bowl, combine flour, salt, paprika and pepper. In another small bowl, combine egg and Worcestershire sauce. Coat chops with seasoned flour; dip in egg mixture, and coat with crumbs. In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown chops on one side until golden brown (about 4 minutes); turn and continue cooking for another 4 minutes until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit, followed by a 3-minute rest time. Serve hot.
Serves 4

And Patrick did it again; he made a yummy dinner with his favorite meat, pork.

What? Can’t a man have a favorite meat? 

Just ignore those parts that are darker than golden brown. Think of it as Patrick doing you a favor with a warning to not set your oil too high when you cook your meat.
