Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
How to Make Crispy Pork Chops with Garlic Butter
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Place the potatoes in the oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy, tossing halfway through.
- While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the pork chops. In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Coat each pork chop in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Transfer the seared pork chops to the baking sheet with the potatoes for the last 10-15 minutes of roasting, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- While the pork chops are finishing in the oven, melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
- Once the pork chops are done, drizzle the garlic butter over them and serve alongside the roasted potatoes.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your pork chops are at room temperature before cooking to promote even cooking.
- Use panko breadcrumbs for an extra crispy texture.
- Adjust the seasoning in the breadcrumb mixture to suit your taste.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing the pork chops; cook in batches if necessary.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the pork chops for boneless chicken breasts or thighs for a different protein.
- Add other seasonings like Italian herbs or chili flakes for a kick.
- Try sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a sweeter twist.
What to Serve With It
- A fresh green salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
- Steamed broccoli or green beans for a pop of color and nutrition.
- Applesauce or a fruit chutney for a sweet contrast to the savory chops.
- Homemade coleslaw for a crunchy side.
