Secret Pork Chops Your Family Will Love

Ritz Breaded Pork Chops The trick is to put just the right amount of breading on them or they get too mushy and not crispy. I use thick butterfly loin chops that are boneless. These seem to cook up to just the right texture.

Secret Pork Chops Your Family Will Love

Secret Pork Chops Your Family Will Love ~I love to make these pork chops and now my family is spoiled to any other kind. 

Thirty minute meals are the best for me especially when they don’t make too many dirty dishes.

The recipe for these pork chops have been handed down to my family since my husband worked at a nice family restaurant.

I choose to use Ritz Cracker. They are a bit more buttery and salty tase than corn flakes without significantlyraising the sodium and fat levels

I hope you like them!

The trick is to put just the right amount of breading on them or they get too mushy and not crispy.

Do not roll them in the marinade with a heavy hand. I can’t stress this enough.

I didn’t add instructions for large amounts of spices. So what is here gives you a bland chop. Season to taste. And you will want to.

I can’t have spicy or salt due to dietary conditions.

You can add your extra amount of salt and spice either in the milk mix, or at the table.

We add them at the table as everyone likes them with different

I use thick butterfly loin chops that are boneless. This is also key to the success of the recipe.

Don’t skip on the chops you choose.

A boneless and thicker chop will be moister. You will appreciate that I am sure.

The thicker chop also uses less breading and therefore the chops are a bit crisper.

These Thicker butterfly Chops seem to cook up to just the right texture.

When the internal temperature of the chops reaches 150-160 degrees they are done. This cooks them between medium and well done.

Do not under or over cook your chops.

These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:

  • 3 complete butterfly pork chops
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2-3 large eggs
  • 1 cup smashed Ritz crackers I put them in baggies and pound them with a meat tenderizer

These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:

  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • Add foil to a cookie sheet for the chops and set aside.
  • Rinse pork chops thoroughly and set aside on paper towel.
  • In two separate bowls, input egg and milk mixture, and then crackers. Beat the eggs with a fork until mixed well.
  • Cut the chops in half where joined.
  • Take a chop and place in the milk and eggs, poking holes so the milk gets absorbed.
  • Take it from the milk and egg dip and put it in the cracker bowl.
  • Last, take the chop and roll it in the crackers on both sides, then place it on the cookie sheet.
  • Repeat until all chops have been coated.
  • Place cookie sheet in middle of the oven for 12-15 minutes. Check, then turn them again for another 12-15 minutes or until done. Cooking time depends on thickness of the chops.
  • Let cool, and serve with applesauce and your favorite salad and veggie!

While I am dunking them in the mixture, I poke a fork in them about 10 times to let the milk soak in. I usually move them to a rectangular pan after soaking and let them sit about 3-5 minutes.

When they are done cooking I remove them from the oven but let them sit on the pan.

This allows the chops to set-up and they are easier to cut.

They do not continue to cook as they rest.

    Our family really wanted to like this recipe. The only change I made was to add Onion Obsession from the Tea & Spice Exchange. I added it as the recipe sounded bland without any spice. Unfortunately like most pork chops it was still too dry even with applesauce. The spice I added it was still bland and hard to chew. FYI I cooked the chops to 120F, only slightly pink. I’m sorry we tried.

      I am so sorry Dee to hear this!! I know there are times when both I and other readers have experienced dry chops so I am sure it was a bad experience.

      When it has happened to me there were a few reasons I know about.

      1. chops were not thick enough or not boneless.
      2. The dipping process didn’t have enough holes for the egg dip to pass through.
      3. The chops either didn’t marinate in the dip long enough or too long.
      4. the chops didn’t have enough dip to soak up.
      5. or they weren’t in an even heating part of the oven. (not middle).

      All the changes you made shouldn’t have affected the outcome. And I am sure you did all the steps correctly. You obviously paid close attention.

      The only thing I can think of is the quality of the chop wasn’t working well for the dip. That I can’t say but I don’t think it was the cause either. I always buy the chops that are on sale.

      I wish your experience had been better. If you can think of anything else or try them again let me know please.

      As far as bland, I deliberately didn’t put ingredients in the list to spice them up as everyone has their own preferences. I go heavy on whatever spices I add to the dip.

      Thank you so much for trying them and for coming back and letting me know. It means a lot to get feedback.

      Please enjoy your week and stay safe and warm!

      Thank you Char for trying these pork chops. I am sorry to hear they were soggy for you. There are a few reasons this can happen. If you use thinner chops and do not decrease the milk mixture, sogginess will be the side effect. Also, if you used frozen chops and then thaw, you actually get more moisture and this can cause sogginess. Lastly, if you use too few bread crumbs, the juices arent absorbed completely. I hope you can give them another try. Please let me know! Have a wonderful week.

      You most certainly can use corn flakes. The crackers I use are not saltines, they are Ritz. They have a buttery taste. But corn flakes are often substitued for them. Enjoy!

    I know this was posted a couple of years ago, but I found this through google and made them and my husband LOVED them. I added a little garlic powder, onion powder and salt, but they came out crisp and moist. He added a line of sriracha after cooking as he loves his spice, but this is definitely a recipe I will make again. 🙂

    Hi Marilyn
    Going to try your recipe tonight after boys soccer practice. The chops I already bought aren’t super thick but a medium thickness. The only that concerns me is poking holes in the meat so milk soaks in? Doesn’t that dry them out? My boys have a tough rating system and I don’t want to get chopped. Lol how thick do you prefer to use?

    Reply
    • blankMarilyn Lesniak says

      May 12, 2016 at 4:26 PM

      Hi Dave! I buy center cut butterfly chops. They are about twice as thick as bonein. Piming holes allows the milk and egg to penetrate which actually fills those holes. The ritz crackers form a layer on the outside which further keeps those juices locked in. I hope you and the boys enjoy! Let me know. And you won’t get chopped with these chops!

          Finally tried these. Followed exactly but not much flavor. I must have done something wrong, a touch dry and like I said not much flavor. I didn’t salt or pepper the chops prior to breading them and putting in oven so maybe that’s it, just a bit bland.

            Dry could be either:
            Froze the meat, then thawed?
            Chops not thick enough? I found center cut boneless do best.
            Cooked to long or not in the center of the oven? My oven is electric. Safely cook to 145-160 degrees on a meat thermometer.
            I do season them at the table after cooking. Salt, pepper, Mrs Dash or even garlic salt until it meets your taste. The big thing is you didn’t get 2 inches of mushy breading! I tend to do that sometimes. ????????
            I am glad you tried them. Practice will get them just right for your taste.

          Your recipe calls for us to cook the chops 10-12 minute, flip, then another 10-12 minutes, yet it calls for 45 minutes of cooking time. Does that mean we need to flip and cook more than once? Hope to cook tonight, but not sure about this.

            Thanks for asking Pat. My new rrecipe program sometimes messes up. Depending on the thickness of the chops they should cook 12-15 minutes a time. And then there is a resting time to let the breading set. I hope my changes stay in this recipe. Good luck and let me know how they turn out!

    Our family favorite on pork chops has always been corn flakes, but I am going to try your Ritz crackers as an alternative, sounds delicious! Thanks so much for sharing over at the Celebrate Your Story Link Party! I hope we see you again next week!

    That looks so yummy. I will need to try this since it is might be healthier than using crushed potato chips to bread my pork chops. Ritz makes a low-sodium cracker which might help for those people watching their salt intake.

      The low sodium cracker actually works better than the original. It is less “pasty”. I hope you like it Marsha.

      They do a better job of keeping the meat moist than bread crumbs or corn flakes!

    Sounds yummy! We love using Ritz crackers in place of bread crumbs it’s always so much tastier and crunchier too.

    ooo these look yummy! Pork is one of my hubby’s favourite meals (i’m not very good at them usually) but I love the idea of using ritz crackers for the breading too! what a great idea, thanks for linking to #YumTum this week 🙂

      Thank you Charlotte. The key is to keep the breading gooey so it won’t dry out and burn. Let me know how they work out! I inow you will do something wonderful!

    My husband is a pork chop fanatic! He always gives me a hard time for not making them more. The truth is, I just don’t have a good recipe. I will HAVE to try – maybe for Father’s Day. Thanks for sharing!

      Thanks for commenting. These are so easy, and good! The key is in the meat. You want boneless butterfly chops. On the thicker side, like a bottom round steak. They stay moist even tjough they cook to the correct temp inside. Write me and let me know how they are!

    Hi Marilyn-

    Pinned and on the list to make when we get back to Florida.

    The pork is tender there and no matter where I buy it on Long Island it’s chewy.

    Thanks for sharing the recipe-

    Linda

      Thanks Linda! For me, pork has to be tender, completely done but still moist. When you can get it like that it is the best! Enjoy! Ave fun in Florida!
