Ingredients

For the Breaded Pork Chops:

• 4 boneless pork chops, about 1-inch thick
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Warm Apple-Cabbage Slaw:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium red cabbage, thinly sliced
• 2 apples, cored and thinly sliced
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

For the Breaded Pork Chops:

1. In a shallow dish, combine flour, paprika, salt, and pepper. Place the beaten eggs in a second dish, and the breadcrumbs in a third dish.
2. Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, dip into the eggs, then coat with the breadcrumbs, pressing the crumbs onto the chops to adhere.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded pork chops and cook until golden brown on each side and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

For the Warm Apple-Cabbage Slaw:

1. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add red onion and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the cabbage and apples, stirring to combine. Cook until the cabbage is slightly wilted, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and sugar. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the apples are tender but still hold their shape. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the breaded pork chops hot with a generous side of the warm apple-cabbage slaw.
