Crispy Pork with a Cracker Crust
My entire family LOVES this new crispy pork recipe! The first time I made it my 11-year-old was at a friend's house so she didn't get to try it with us....
Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- 14 whole-grain crackers such as Triscuits or the Back to Nature version
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon thyme dried
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 4 pork chops boneless and thin, about ¾” thick
- parmesan cheese freshly grated (or homemade honey mustard sauce)
Instructions
- In a food processor pulse together the crackers and spices (all the way down to the pepper) until crumbly. Spread on a large plate and set aside.
- Coat both sides of the pork chops with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. It helps to throw it all in a big baggie together and toss it around.
- Press the pork chops into the cracker mixture until well coated on all sides.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the pork chops until golden brown on both sides and no longer pink in the middle, about 3 to 4 minutes each side.
- Top with optional garnish if desired and serve. You can find the recipe to the sauce here - Homemade Honey Mustard.
- Alternatively you could bake the chops in the oven at 450 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes (or until no longer pink in the middle).
Notes
We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
