Jen's Double Breaded Pork Chops & Top Secret Cheesy Potatoes

I know we just had pork last night, and I know that I just made this recipe not to long ago, but there are extenuating circumstances as to why I am choosing this meal again. First, I went to go pull out what I did have planned for tonight's dinner and realized that I was out of ground beef. Ugh. Then, I noticed these pork chops from August still in my freezer. Since I practice the "first-in, first-out" rule to food in my freezer, I felt that it was my obligation to cook these pork chops post-haste. Also, I feel as if last night's dinner was a bit disappointing with the wonky cook times and all, so I really need a good pork recipe to help me recover. See, I can rationalize anything!

I think I will make some cheesy potatoes and cauliflower to complete this meal. These are all dishes that I make a lot, so it should be easy and predictably yummy! Hooray for easy and yummy!

Jen's Double Breaded Pork Chops

Ingredient:
Cooking Spray
3-4 Tablespoons of canola oil
4 pork chops (either boneless or bone-in)
1 cup of seasoned Italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup of panko bread crumbs
1 Tablespoon of onion powder
1 Tablespoon of garlic powder
1 Tablespoon of paprika
1 Tablespoon of dried parsley
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
2 eggs, beaten
2 Tablespoon of milk
4 small dashes of Louisiana Hot Sauce
salt to taste

Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare large cookie sheet by spraying with cooking spray and set aside.
2) In a large bowl combine Italian seasoned bread crumbs, Panko bread crumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, parsley, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and mix thoroughly. Set aside.
3) In a separate medium bowl combine 2 beaten eggs, milk, and Louisiana Hot Sauce. Set aside.
4) Take pork chops and pat dry with paper towel.
5) In a large skillet heat canola oil over medium-high heat.
6) While oil is heating set up a breading station for your pork chops, as follows:

* Dip pork chop in egg wash, flipping to coat both sides evenly. Let the extra egg wash run off back into the bowl.
* Place egg coated pork chop into the bread crumb mixture, flipping and evenly coating with bread crumbs on all sides.
* Dip bread crumb coated pork chop back into the egg wash, flipping to coat again with egg wash on all sides (over the bread crumb mixture)
* Place pork chop back into the bread crumb mixture again, flipping to coat again with bread crumb mixture.

7) Once pork chop has been double coated with both egg and bread crumbs, place in skillet,turning once to brown on both sides-approximately 3 minutes per side. (Please note: Pork chop will not be cooked through, this step is just for browning.)
8) Once pork chop is brown on both sides, place on waiting cookie sheet and sprinkle with a little bit of salt.
9) Repeat steps 6-8 with remaining pork chops.
10) Once all pork chops have been browned and placed on cookie sheet, place cookie sheet in oven for 25-30 minutes to finish cooking pork chops. Serve and enjoy!
