So, I must admit...I rarely make pork chops. I'm not really sure why.

Maybe because it's easy to dry them out...

But with this tried and true method, your pork chops will stay tender and moist! To create the breaded coating, these chops were seasoned with salt and pepper, then given a light coating of gluten free flour. Next, they were dipped in a beaten egg. Finally, I coated the pork chops in a mixture of gluten free breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. For a crispier coating, I seared the pork chops with olive oil in a skillet prior to baking. The breaded coating and two cooking methods helps to ensure the pork chops stay juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.

How to Make Crispy Gluten Free Pork Chops

1. For best results, allow the pork chops to sit on the counter and come to room temperature.
2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
3. Prepare a shallow dish with 1/4 cup of gluten free flour. In another shallow dish, use a fork or whisk to beat one egg. In a third dish, stir the gluten free breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
4. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Then, lightly dip in the flour. Next, dip each pork chop into the egg mixture. Finally, coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
5. Heat a skillet with 1-2 Tbsp. of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the sides of each pork chop for 2-3 minutes, until browned. Then, remove from the heat and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Thicker pork chops will take longer to bake. The internal temp should reach 145 degrees. Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes prior to serving.

Why dredge meat?

Dredging involves adding a light coating of flour, cornmeal, or breadcrumbs to meat prior to cooking. This layer keeps the meat from sticking to the pan and drying out, which creates a moist and juicier piece of meat. Sometimes after dredging, meat can be dipped in a liquid (milk, egg, buttermilk) and then dipped in breadcrumbs for a thicker coating. When browned, this breaded coating creates a nice crunch.

Storage & Reheating

Store in the fridge for 4-5 days. For best results, reheat pork chops in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes. You can also reheat in the microwave; however, the chops will not be as crispy.
