Instructions
Creating Country Fried Pork Chops with Bacon Gravy can be straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Set Up the Breading Station: In one bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. In a third bowl, add breadcrumbs.
3. Bread the Pork Chops: Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
4. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and let it drain on paper towels, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
5. Fry the Pork Chops: In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the breaded pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
6. Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release flavorful bits.
7. Thicken the Gravy: Stir in heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce, and let it simmer for a few minutes until thickened. Crumble the crispy bacon into the gravy.
8. Serve: Pour the bacon gravy over the cooked pork chops and garnish with fresh parsley.
