Servings: 4 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1/3 head green cabbage, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups panko crumbs, seasoned
  • 12 Ritz crackers, finely crushed
  • 4 thin-cut pork chops
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

How to make cabbage with bacon:

  • Heat a large non-stick skillet to medium heat. Add the bacon pieces and cook until slightly crisp and browned, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in the butter and allow it to melt. Add the cabbage and the onions to the skillet. Cover with a lid and saute the cabbage until soft, about 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

How to make the breaded pork chops:

  • While the cabbage is cooking, place the milk and flour each on separate plates. Combine the cracker crumbs and breadcrumbs on a third plate. Dip each pork chop in flour, then milk, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture until well coated.
  • Add the canola oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Place the breaded pork chops in the skillet and cook until golden, about 3 to 5 minutes. Turn each chop and brown the other side for another 3 minutes. Sprinkle with garlic salt.
  • Place the browned chops on plate lined with paper towels. (If your pork chops are thick-cut, place them on a wire rack inside of a baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes after browning.) Use a meat thermometer to check doneness, pork is done at 145 degrees fahrenheit. Recipe makes 4 servings.

Equipment

  • 2 large skillets

Notes

How to use Green Cabbage:
This is the most common type of cabbage and is typically used in making Creamy Coleslaw, a delicious summer salad. I also use it to make Stuffed Cabbage Rolls, and in this recipe for Pork Chops and Cabbage with Bacon. It is a dense, heavy cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Green cabbage is very affordable.
