Chops in the oven
4 servings
40 minutes
A classic home dish - thinly sliced chop (we mentioned pork, but, for example, it could be chicken) is rolled in fine breadcrumbs, lightly fried in a frying pan in a large amount of oil and then quietly finished in the oven. Chops in the oven are cooked all over the country, and many do it automatically, without looking at a cookbook. But you will still get more flavor if you undertake to cook chops in the oven, observing all the subtleties. For example , do not forget to powder the meat with flour before dipping it into a beaten egg - the first component of batter.
