Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 4 boneless pork chops

Coating

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Honey Garlic Sauce

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Cooking Fat

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to ensure the coating sticks well. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
  2. Coat the Pork Chops: Lightly season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Dredge each chop first in flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly in the panko breadcrumbs to ensure an even crunchy layer.
  3. Fry the Pork Chops: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, carefully add the pork chops and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chops to a plate and set aside.
  4. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium in the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice if desired. Let the mixture simmer for 1 to 2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Glaze the Pork Chops: Return the pork chops to the pan and spoon the honey garlic sauce over them. Turn the chops to coat evenly with the sticky glaze, cooking for an additional minute to meld the flavors.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the glazed pork chops to serving plates. Spoon any extra sauce over the top and garnish as desired with fresh herbs or sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Patting the pork chops dry is essential for a crispy coating.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying; cook in batches if necessary to maintain oil temperature.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs for a lighter, crunchier texture.
  • Medium-high heat crisps the coating without burning it.
  • Allow cooked pork chops to rest a few minutes to retain juiciness.
