Ingredients

For brine:
• 3 cups water
• 3 tablespoons salt
• a bay leaf
• and some peppercorns

For coating your pork chops:
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
• 1 cup gluten free panko style bread crumbs
• 4 boneless center-cut pork chops
• Salt
• pepper
• and 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil for frying

Pro tip and recipe notes

For the juiciest chops, the most important tip that I can give you is to brine the chops. Just soak the meat in salt water for at least an hour. This traps the moisture in the meat. Rinse the salt water off and pat dry when finished brining. You’ll be left with tenderized, juicy chops.

Instructions

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.

Now, the pork chops are dredged in parmesan cheese, then egg and finally crunchy panko breadcrumbs. The breadcrumbs trap steam in the meat keeping it juicy on the inside.

Heat oil in a large skillet until hot, but not smoking. Cook your breaded chops until golden on each side.

Happy cooking! And if you have any questions, please reach out to me in the comments or shoot me an email and I’ll respond ASAP!
