How to make the perfect Pan-Fried Pork Chops
This is such an easy meal to make and it will feel like restaurant quality! Start off with preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
First, prepare the pork. Lightly pat the chops dry with a paper towel.
Take 3 wide but shallow bowls. Fill one with flour, salt, and pepper, one with milk and eggs whisked together, and one with breadcrumbs.
Dredge the pork chop in the flour mixture and shake off the excess.
Then dredge in the milk and eggs.
Then in the breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs into the pork, to make sure that it sticks.
Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed frying pan or skillet over medium high heat. When the butter is melted, add the olive oil. Turn the heat to medium and add the pork and cook for 2 minutes on the first side, flip the pork, and cook for another two minutes. Do this with 2 pieces of pork at a time – you do not want to overcrowd the pan.
Once each pork chop has reached a beautiful golden brown color, put all cooked pork chops on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until the pork has reached an internal temperature of 160.
While the pork is in the oven, warm the cranberry chutney in a small non-stick sauce pan over low heat. Serve immediately.

I served mine with wild rice, but this will pair well with a few side dishes:
- Mashed Potatoes.
- Wild rice.
- Corn bread.
- Your favorite veggies – broccoli, green beans, and asparagus would all pair nicely.
- Glazed carrots.
Serve plated or family style!
