Country Fried Pork Chops with Bacon Gravy

Crispy breaded pork chops fried to golden perfection and smothered in a rich, creamy bacon gravy, ready in 30 minutes for a hearty Southern comfort meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 thick-sliced pork chops
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons bacon grease
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 1/2 cup milk. In another bowl, mix 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, dip in egg mixture, then coat again in flour.
  2. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry pork chops 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 145°F). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and keep warm. Spoon out excess grease, leaving 3 tablespoons.
  3. In the same skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon, leaving grease. Add 2 tablespoons flour to grease, cook 1-2 minutes until browned. Gradually whisk in 1 cup chicken broth, add salt and pepper to taste, cook until thickened. Stir in bacon and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. Return pork chops to skillet, spoon gravy over top. Serve with mashed potatoes or biscuits.

Notes

For extra crispiness, let breaded chops rest 5 minutes before frying. Use bone-in chops for more flavor. Double gravy batch if serving over sides.
