Step 3: Shallow fry the pork
Breaded pork chops
- neutral oilfor frying
- breaded chops
Set a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat.
Add enough oil for , about a quarter of an inch. Add a pinch of bread crumbs to test the heat, they should lightly sizzle and become browned, not burnt!
Place the breaded chops in the pan and slowly shallow fry until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145 - 150°F/62-65°C. Go low and slow! I like to flip the pork chops multiple times during this process.
- Note: Alternatively, you can slide the pan into a 350°F/176°C oven after browning on both sides to finish cooking.
