I think I’ve mentioned this a few times before, but my Grandma was a wonderful cook. Every time I make pork chops, I call my Mom regarding the cooking time, etc. I did just that yesterday when I was going to be making pork chops for dinner. She said to me “Grandma always coated them in flour and egg and cooked them in a little butter on the stove top and then transferred them to the oven for 30 minutes.” I did mostly everything my Mom told me, but I wanted to add a couple herbs, plus garlic powder to the salt and pepper my grandma, and my mom, added.

I set up my breading station … one bowl with flour, one bowl with egg and one bowl with breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, oregano, basil, garlic powder, kosher salt and pepper. I first dried off my pork chops with a paper towel and then sprinkled kosher salt and pepper on both sides of the meat. After that, I dipped each pork chop in flour, egg and the bread crumb mixture (in that order).

After my chops were prepped, I placed them in a cast iron skillet that I had been melting one tablespoon of butter and one tablespoon of olive oil in. I browned them for 3 minutes on the first side and two minutes on the second side. Next, I placed them in a preheated 425 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.

Alongside the boneless pork chops, I served broccolini that I roasted in the oven for 15 minutes as the chops were cooking.
