Breaded Pork Chop w/ Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, and Artisan Harvest Grain Baked Bread


Dinner Tonight: Breaded Pork Chop w/ Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, and Artisan Harvest Grain Baked Bread




I've used this recipe for Breaded Pork Chops several times now, it came from an issue of Taste of Home/
Simple and Delicious. I love the Taste of Home various magazines and their recipes.  To make the Breaded Chops I’ll need 1/4 cup Egg Beater‘s, 1/4 cup 2% milk, 1/2 cup crushed low fat saltines crackers, 2 boneless pork loin chops (1-inch thick and 4 ounces each), and 1 tablespoon Canola Oil. Then to prepare them is quite easy; in a shallow bowl, combine Egg Beater’s and milk. Place cracker crumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip each pork chop in egg mixture, then coat with cracker crumbs, patting to make a thick coating. In a large skillet, cook chops in oil for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let meat stand for 5 minutes before serving. The Chops came out moist and delicious and the saltines made a great crust for the Chops. I’ve left the original recipe, which makes 6 Chops, and the link to the Taste of Home website at the end of the post.



To go with the Chops it was leftovers. Bob Evans Mashed Potatoes and the Green Beans leftover from last night. Just reheat and served. I also baked a loaf of Meijer Bakery Artisan Harvest Grain Bread. Just love the fresh taste of their bread. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt.
