    Pork Chop Sandwich

    The best Pork Chop Sandwich you will ever taste! We keep our recipe classic and simple with a breaded bone-in pork chop, lightly caramelized onions, and swipe of mayo and mustard.

    Chicago is known for so many iconic dishes like deep dish pizza, Italian beef sandwich and Chicago dogs to name a few; but one of my favorite classic Chicago dishes that’s a little less known outside of Chicago  is the Chicago Style Pork Chop Sandwich! It’s an incredibly simple sandwich but is packed with so much flavor, and the best part is the tender pan fried pork chop! I seriously couldn’t be more excited about this sandwich!!

    The sandwich itself consists of thin bone-in pork chop that’s pan fried until golden and crisp on the outside and super moist and tender on the inside. The fried pork chop is topped with lightly caramelized (or grilled) onions and then everything is sandwiched between two potato buns that are slathered with mayo and whole grain (or spicy brown) mustard! See?! It’s really that simple. You can also add sport peppers to the sandwich, but I personally love having them on the side.

    The bone-in pork chop might seem a little strange (and dangerous) for a sandwich and I’m not sure why it was originally made that way, but it’s the best and kind of fun! You just have to be careful as you get to the bone. If you’re worried you can totally make these sandwiches using boneless pork chops and still create an equally simple and delicious dish. We love how quickly pork chops cook up and our recipe takes less than 30 minutes to make! That’s right, you can have this delicious pork chop sandwich in under 30 minutes. It’s almost too good to be true. We’re always so impressed by the diverse dishes we’re able to create using pork as our protein of choice.

      INGREDIENTS  

    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 1 thinly sliced yellow onion
    • 3 bone-in pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick and 8 ounces each)
    • 1/2 cup all purpose flour

    • Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
    • Dredge each in flour, shaking off any excess, so each chop is coated in a thin layer of flour.
    • Heat oil in a large skillet with tall sides over medium heat.
    • Once oil is hot carefully add pork chops and pan fry on each side for 4 to 5 minutes or until pork chops have slightly browned on the outside and just cooked through.
    • Transfer pork chops to a cooling rack.
    • Spread mayonnaise and mustard onto the tops and bottoms of each toasted bun.
    • Top each bottom bun with a pork chop and pile onions on top.
    • Gently press the top buns onto each sandwich and serve immediately.

        It’s traditionally kept in, but you can definitely remove it!

          Very interesting- I didn’t know it was traditionally left in. Bone-in is much more flavorful in my opinion, I’d definitely prefer removing it versus going boneless. Thank you!
