Oven Fried Pork Chops

In a discussion on what we were going to have for dinner, my husband said he had a hankering for pork chops. We have been eating quite a bit of chicken lately and pork would be a nice change. This is a very easy recipe to make and it is quite tasty too! So let’s head into the kitchen, shall we?

Ingredients
Pork chops
A mixture of flour, paprika, garlic powder and thyme
2 eggs, beaten
Bread crumbs
1/4 cup of shortening
1/4 cup of butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a baking pan add the shortening and butter. When the oven is hot, place the pan in the oven and let the shortening and butter melt. While this is doing its thing, take the chops and dredge them in the flour coating them completely. Next, take the chop and dip it into the egg until completely covered with the egg. Then dredge in the bread crumbs. Set aside.

Breaded chops

Once the shortening and butter have melted add the chops to the pan.

Breaded chops go into the oven

Bake for 30 minutes. Then turn them over.

Half way through cooking

Cook for another 30 minutes. When done, remove from the oven and let the chops rest for 5 minutes. Then serve it up!

Dinner is served!

If you feel a bit adventurous, then substitute the eggs with Dijon mustard!
