Breaded Pork Chop Recipe
(Fried Pork Chops)

The Filipinos’ love for fried food is very evident in this dish called Fried Pork Chops. We practically fry everything we can get our hands on, even if it means not eating healthy. Aside from frying, the pork chops could also just be simply seasoned with salt and pepper or marinated with spices and seasonings, and then barbequed or grilled.

There are two common methods of frying pork chops. The easiest way is to rub some salt on it, and frying both sides until it’s done. The not so good thing about this is that the meat usually dries out. The other process is to coat it with all-purpose flour or bread crumbs, which makes it crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. What makes Fried Pork Chops juicier is the thickness of the cut. The thicker the cut, the juicier it will become.

We love our Fried Pork Chops with the skin on, and with some fat. It is best served with steamed white rice, and dipped in a sauce or banana catsup. Since the dish is on the dry side, soup would also go best with it. Try this breaded pork chop recipe and enjoy!
