Pan Pork Chops Recipes

EASY PAN SEARED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Pat chops dry with the paper towel and sprinkle them very generously with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
• Heat your skillet (I recommend cast iron one) to medium high and add the olive oil. When it's shimmering hot and not a moment before, add your chops.
• Sear on one side, without moving them at all, until they are nice and golden brown on the first side, about 3-5 minutes. Flip and sear the other side until browned.
• The easiest way to check if the pork chop is done is to use meat thermometer. When they reach an internal temperature of 135 F degrees they are done.
• Remove them from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 10 minutes, during which time they will continue cooking with the residual heat and will eventually reach 145 F degrees.
• Do remember that cooking time can vary based on the thickness of the pork chops.

PAN PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet on the stove.
• Add green onions and garlic, sautee for about 1-2 minutes.
• Add pork chops, cook 4-6 minutes on each side.

PAN FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops.
• Combine the flour and some cayenne, salt and black pepper. Dredge each side of the pork chops in the flour mixture, and then set aside on a plate.
• Heat the canola oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add the butter. When the butter is melted and the butter/oil mixture is hot, cook 3 pork chops at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook until the chops are golden brown on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes (make sure no pink juices remain). Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining pork chops.
• Delicious and simple! Serve with smashed new potatoes.

PANKO PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Place beaten eggs on a large plate.
• Mix flour, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black pepper on another plate. Spread out panko bread crumbs on a third plate.
• Dip pork chops in egg, then in flour, again in egg, and finally in panko. Press lightly on pork chops so that the panko adheres. Set aside and let rest while oil is heated.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops and cook uncovered until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip pork chops over and cook until no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

PAN-FRIED JERK PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine jerk seasoning, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Shake about 1 tablespoon jerk rub into the skillet. Add onions; cook and stir until soft, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle 1/2 of the remaining jerk rub onto one side of each pork chop. Use a knife to poke 4 or 5 holes in each chop and pour 1/2 of the lime juice over top. Place chops, seasoned-side down, into the hot skillet.
• Cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. While cooking, sprinkle remaining jerk rub onto the top side of the chops. Poke holes as before, and pour remaining lime juice over top. Flip chops and cook until browned and no longer pink in the center, another 5 to 7 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
