Cajun Pork Chops

  4.0 – 59 reviews  • Pan Fried

Sour cream adds moisture to this lovely cinnamon swirl Bundt cake. This recipe was given to me years ago by a friend. Small loaf cakes that can be frozen easily can also be created from this.

Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  2. 1 tablespoon paprika
  3. 1 teaspoon ground sage
  4. 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
  5. ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  6. ½ teaspoon black pepper
  7. ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  8. 4 (1/2 inch thick) boneless pork chops
  9. 2 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Place flour, paprika, sage, Creole seasoning, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and garlic powder in a large, resealable plastic bag. Place pork chops in the bag, seal, and shake to coat chops.
  2. In a large skillet, heat oil over high heat for about 1 minute. Arrange chops in pan, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until pork chops are dark brown, about 6 to 8 minutes per side.
  3. Turn heat down a little if chops are browning too fast, and increase cooking time by a couple of minutes per side.

I added a tablespoon of bread crumbs to give it more crisp. I also went half olive oil & safflower oil – safflower is an excellent high temp oil. And since I make my creole seasoning from scratch I had to add salt to this. I found just 1 real gotch-ya in this recipe… cook time is too long! 8 minutes for both sides? My first attempt was way over cooked.

Moist and tasty. Just the right kick.

I am making this dish for the 2nd time. it is so wonderful that I have told 3 of my friends and they said they would make it too.

No changes it is a really good meal. I served with texas toast garlic bread and louisiana hot sauce on the pork. yum

I made this for the first time a couple of weeks ago and omitted the sage as I did not have any on hand. The chops were a huge hit with my husband and parents. Since, I’ve used the flour/seasoning (minus sage) for thin sliced chicken breasts and it was just as big a hit as the chops. An new family favorite.

Pretty good for how easy it is. Thanks for sharing.

This was delicious! I love pork steaks and was looking for a different recipe. This one is a keeper!
Gabriel Goodwin
Made it according to directions with one minor unexpected change. Was out of Sage, substituted with Thyme. Absolutive incredible. Whoa, what a Cayenne kick! Perfect. Can’t wait to do it again!!

I used 1″ thick boneless pork chops instead of 1/2″ and I didn’t have any sage. I cooked them 10 minutes on each side and they came out nice and tender. However being a Cajun myself next time I cook these I will use double the amount of Cajun seasoning and cayenne these were pretty bland to me and my wife.

They were ok when I added some more salt, but I was surprised how little flavor these had…and I followed the recipe to a t. :/
Corey Odom
Yum! Lots of flavor! I used smoked paprika, added 1/2 tsp of salt, and reduced the cayenne pepper slightly. We thought it was plenty spicy!
Sandra Weiss
Really good! We like spicy food so I added more cayenne pepper. My first time cooking pork, and I’m now a convert.

Hubby and I really enjoyed this recipe. I also doubled the ingredience,but I doubled all of them even the flour. I, also, double dipped (flour,milk,flour). My pork chops were self cut from a tenderloin. So,they were 1″ to 1 1/2″.So, I had to use more oil and cook longer. They are not tender but not too tough either. I guess if I wanted them tender, I would jab/stick them with a fork several times; before flouring and frying them. Will definately make again.

I was in a rush so I found this and it was a real hit! I was out of paprika and used cumin instead and it wasn’t overpowering at all. I will make this again and again.

This recipe has no marinating recommendation? I think for meat to really get the flavour of its seasoning you need to put it in the fridge for 2-6 hours or overnight is best. Also 1/2 a teaspoon of cayenne won’t give you a spicy recipe you need double that if you like it spicy! Be careful not to over spice it though.

A little dry but very easy
Michele Bell
Very spicy and tasty. We both liked these.
Jason Ruiz
These were one of the best chops I have ever had and so easy to make, made in a cast Iron skillet sliced onions made the recipe, thanks so much for sharing.

These cajun pork chops were out of this world, my family was looking for more after dinner. I added a little more cayenne pepper because we like spicy food. It was delish….
Frank Washington
Sooooo good if you like spicy!
Shelby Coleman
This is probably my favorite way that I’ve ever had prok chops. I added double of everything except flour and paprika because we like things extra spicy. I double dipped them in the flour mixture (flour, milk, flour) and allowed them to rest for about 30 minutes before cooking them. I cooked them in an iron skillet with only 1 TB of olive oil, but I did spray the pan liberally with Pam first so it would not soak up all of the oil. They cooked for about 6 minutes on each side for a 1/2 inch thick chop. Wonderful!
