How to Know Pork Chops Are Fully Cooked?
Grab a meat thermometer and make sure the internal temperature reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Depending on the thickness of your chops the cook time in the oven will vary. So if the pork is not fully cooked when the time is up, return to oven and cook longer.
Storing Leftovers
Refrigerate – Take any of your breaded pork chops and place in an airtight container. Refrigerate for 2-3 days.
Freezing – Feel free to freeze any leftovers as well. Freeze in a freezer friendly bag or container for 1-3 months. Thaw in fridge overnight, then reheat.
How To Reheat Leftovers
Microwave – Place pork on a plate and heat for 45 seconds or so. Then carefully flip over and heat for additional time until your chops are warmed.
Oven – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place pork chops in a single layer and then bake for 10-15 minutes or until warmed up.
The oven method will give you a crunchier texture on the breading. Where as the microwave can be a bit soggy,
Pro Tips For Success
- If you want to use regular breadcrumbs go ahead. Panko breadcrumbs just have a bit more crunch.
- Some recommend a little pink left in pork chops to ensure they are juicy.
- Let the pork rest 5-10 minutes once you remove from the oven. This locks in the juices and prevents a dry chop!
- Pan searing the chops at first helps to ensure you have a crunchy coating.
