Cracker Pork Chops

These were really good. I really liked how the breading tasted. I omitted the water and bouillon step and just finished them off in the oven after frying to brown. I was afraid they would get soggy and I wanted to keep them crunchy. Makes 4 servings.

Ingredients

2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
4 lean boneless pork chops
1/2 (16 ounce) package saltine crackers, crushed
1 cup oil for frying
2 cups water
1 cube chicken bouillon

Directions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well blended. Run the pork chops under water then roll in the cracker crumbs. Dip into the egg mixture, then back into the cracker crumbs. Make sure the chops are thickly coated.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chops until golden brown on both sides. Add water to the skillet, just enough to almost come to the top of the pork chops. Dissolve the chicken bouillon cube in the water. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the pork chops absorb most of the water, about 15 to 20 minutes.
To deep fry, skip the water and bouillon cube. Heat frying oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry coated chops for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper immediately after. They come out moist and delicious.
