  5. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add breaded chops and fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
