Starting your day with a delicious breakfast is essential for a productive and energized morning. One of the most satisfying and comforting options is a plate of crispy breakfast pork chops. These savory and juicy chops are perfect for those who enjoy a hearty meal to kick off their day. In this article, we will guide you through the process of how to make breakfast pork chops, ensuring that your morning meal is both delicious and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
Before you begin, gather the following ingredients:
– 4 pork chops (thick-cut, bone-in or boneless, depending on your preference)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/4 teaspoon paprika
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Season the Pork Chops: Begin by seasoning the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. This will help to enhance the flavor as the chops cook.
2. Preheat the Pan: Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
3. Prepare the Sauce: While the pork chops are cooking, mix the flour with a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Add the chicken or vegetable broth to the mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Pour the sauce into the skillet with the pork chops.
4. Simmer the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken slightly as it cooks.
5. Serve: Once the pork chops are cooked to your liking and the sauce has thickened, remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the pork chops for a fresh and aromatic garnish. Serve the breakfast pork chops with a side of your favorite breakfast potatoes, eggs, or toast.
Now that you know how to make breakfast pork chops, you can enjoy this delightful meal any time you want. It’s a fantastic way to start your day and will leave you feeling satisfied and ready to take on whatever challenges the day may bring.
