Does it get more homecookin’ then Chicken Fried Anything with Gravy? The crispy crunchy outer coating over steak is a classic comfort food. So why not give the other white meat a little country lovin’ and make Chicken Fried Pork Chops w/ gravy smothered all over it?
Dredging station set-up is real important to the success of any kind of coating like this. You want to get everything totally set up and ready for use before you start dredging anything. You could get one of these fancy Dredging Station Tray sets or you could just use some dinner plates or small baking sheets. This particular set up only needs two trays/bowls/plates because the flour mixture gets used twice. It is important to get a layer of flour under the egg mixture to help it stick to the meat better.
The Gravy is equally important! Some people don’t like to make the gravy in the same pan that they fried in – but I’m not those people. The tasty bits in the bottom of the pan are key to delicious gravy. They give it more depth of flavor and bring the whole dish together. You can use the gravy over the pork chops or some mashed potatoes. For this particular meal – I would use red potatoes with the skin on to make smashed potatoes (just add heavy cream, butter, salt and white pepper after boiled to tenderness).

Chicken Fried Pork Chops w/ Gravy is definitely going to be on our regular rotation from now on. It came out so tasty, the husband has already requested it again in the near future!
