Pork Chops for Mama (yes, there's a recipe!)

“Say what?! We get pork chops and Les isn’t here?!”



This is Ryan & my beautiful,
tiny Mommy

Yeah… that’s what Leonard said the other night when I cooked pork chops. I bought this pack of pork chops from the grocery store for like $10 and there were like 10 good sized, thin sliced pork chops in it. I already had rice, eggs, bread crumbs & seasoning. I bought it on Monday, not knowing my Mom & brother were coming down for dinner. If I knew they were coming, I would've prepared an all out feast! I love cooking for my Mom! When Leonard made that statement, my mom didn’t understand what he was saying, so he explained: “When Les is here, she always cooks him the good stuff.” Then he mocks me in his lame (but cute) girl voice impression, “Oh baby, what do you want to eat? I’ll cook you whatever you want.” Good thing my mom has a sense of humor and knows that Leonard is always joking around. On the bright side, I guess now I know Leonard loves my pork chops! And the best thing about it, it’s so easy to make and you can serve them in different ways!

 

Mommy liked it… I hope you will too!

 

Crispy Panko Breaded Pork Chops

Ingredients:

4 thin pork chops

3 cups Panko bread crumbs
1 large egg
Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning

This stuff right here is AMAZING!
I use this ish on almost errythang!

Preparation:

Rinse off you pork chops, then pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside.

In a large bowl, scramble egg with about 3 tsp of Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning. Set aside.

In another large bowl, mix bread crumbs with about 1 tbsp of Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning.

Start heating a frying pan with oil over medium high heat.

While oil is heating up:

Dip your pork chops, one at a time, in the egg wash, then place in the bread crumb bowl. Using a meat tenderizer (If you don’t have one - the hammer looking thing you use to beat the meat to make it soft- use your fist) to pound the bread crumbs onto the pork chop.

Cooking Directions:

 

Once oil is heated, start frying your pork chops. Do not over crowd your pan. Cook pork chops until golden brown all around. Since I use thin pork chops, it only takes about 3 - 4 minutes on each side to cook thoroughly. Thicker pork chops take a little bit longer.

When pork chops are done frying, remove from oil and allow to drain on a paper towel lined plate. And BOOM! You got yourself some comforting, delicious pork chops! I serve these up with rice & veggies. I like eating my pork chops with ketchup mixed with sriacha or tabasco. You can use some katsu sauce, bbq sauce, etc. :)

Enjoy & God Bless!

 

XOXO, Kayfletch
