This recipe is perfect for a comforting meal at home. Country Fried Pork Chops

Key Ingredients & Tips for Crispy Pork Chops

  • Perfect Dredging: Make sure each pork chop is fully coated in the flour mixture. This helps create the crispiest outside layer when frying.
  • Hot Oil is Important: Get your oil to the right temperature before you start frying. This stops the chops from getting greasy and helps them brown nicely.
  • Resting Time: Let your fried pork chops rest for a few minutes after cooking. This keeps them juicy and tender inside.

What You Need for Country Fried Pork Chops

  • 4 boneless pork chops, about 1-inch thick
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Vegetable oil for frying

⏱️ Time: 25 minutes🍽️ Yields: 4 servings

How to Make Country Fried Pork Chops

Step 1: Prepare the Coating Station

In one shallow bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg until they are well combined. In a separate shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder thoroughly. This sets up your breading station.

Step 2: Dredge the Pork Chops

Take each pork chop and dip it first into the egg mixture, allowing any extra liquid to drip off. Then, press it firmly into the flour mixture, making sure it is fully coated on all sides.

Step 3: Fry Until Golden and Crispy

Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when it shimmers slightly. Carefully place the breaded chops in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and cooked all the way through.

Step 4: Serve Warm

Remove the cooked chops from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. This helps to drain any extra oil. Serve them immediately with your favorite comforting sides.

📝 Final Note

For an even crispier crust, you can double dip the chops in the flour-egg-flour sequence before frying.

It’s a perfect weeknight meal when you want something special without much effort. Creamy Boursin Cheese Pork Chops Recipe

Key Ingredients & Tips for Creamy Pork Chops

  • Boursin Cheese is Key: This cheese is the star of the sauce! Feel free to use your favorite flavor of Boursin, like Garlic & Fine Herbs, for a unique taste.
  • Don’t Overcook Pork: Pork chops can dry out easily. Cook them until they are just done, then let them rest for a few minutes. This helps them stay juicy.
  • Use Pan Bits for Flavor: After searing the chops, use a little chicken broth to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Those bits add so much flavor to your sauce!

What You Need for Creamy Boursin Pork Chops

  • 4 boneless pork chops, about 1-inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 block (5.2 oz) Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

⏱️ Time: 20 minutes🍽️ Yields: 4 servings

How to Make Creamy Boursin Pork Chops

Step 1: Sear the Pork Chops

Season your pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the seasoned chops in the hot skillet and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side, until they are nicely browned and cooked through. Remove the chops from the pan and set them aside on a plate.

Step 2: Start the Creamy Sauce

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chicken broth to the skillet, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. These bits add a lot of taste. Stir in the block of Boursin cheese until it melts completely and the sauce is smooth.

Step 3: Thicken the Sauce

Pour in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes. This will allow it to thicken a little. Taste the sauce and add more salt or pepper if you think it needs it.

Step 4: Combine and Serve

Return the cooked pork chops to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Spoon the delicious sauce over them to coat. Warm through for about a minute. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley right before serving.

📝 Final Note

This creamy sauce is also wonderful served over pasta or mashed potatoes to soak up all the deliciousness.
