Instructions
Creating Country Fried Pork Chops with Bacon Gravy is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Pork Chops: Start by patting the pork chops dry with paper towels.
2. Make the Coating: In one bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
3. Dip the Pork Chops: Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, dip in the egg mixture, then coat again with the flour mixture for a crispy exterior.
4. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Once done, remove the bacon and leave the grease in the skillet.
5. Fry the Pork Chops: Add the coated pork chops to the skillet with the bacon grease. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chops to a plate.
6. Prepare the Gravy: In the same skillet, add the bacon back to the pan. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and scrape any bits that have stuck to the bottom. Cook for a few minutes until it starts to thicken.
7. Add Heavy Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
8. Serve: Pour the bacon gravy over the pork chops. Garnish with chopped parsley for a refreshing touch.
By following these straightforward steps, you’ll have a delicious Country Fried Pork Chops with Bacon Gravy ready to delight your taste buds.
