Crispy Italian Pork Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Pound each pork chop with meat mallet, rolling pin or side of a can to 1/4-inch thickness. Place chops in large resealable plastic bag. Add 1/4 cup of the dressing; seal bag. Turn bag gently to coat chops evenly with dressing. Refrigerate 30 min. to 1 hour to marinate. Remove chops from marinade; discard bag and marinade.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat chops with coating mix as directed on package; discard any remaining coating mix. Place chops in 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
• Bake 20 to 25 min. or until cooked through (160°F). Toss arugula with remaining 1/4 cup dressing; arrange on serving platter. Top with chops; sprinkle with tomato and onion. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, beat together the eggs and milk. In a separate small bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and parsley.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until lightly browned. Remove garlic, reserving for other uses.
• Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, then into the bread crumb mixture, coating evenly. Place coated pork chops in the skillet, and brown abut 5 minutes on each side.
• Place the skillet and pork chops in the preheated oven, and cook 25 minutes, or to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Put the flour in a shallow dish. Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix the breadcrumbs with the oregano and thyme in a third shallow bowl.
• Dredge a pork chop in the flour, shaking off the excess, dip it into the eggs and then coat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a piece of wax paper or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pork chops.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat with enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the chops (about 1/4 cup). When the oil shimmers, add the chops and fry until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels briefly. Serve hot with cooked spinach and lemon wedges.
