This is an easy recipe for tender, gluten-free breaded pork chops that are…. oh, so good and quickly made. I am using a fusion of ingredients from American, Caribbean and Asian cuisines you can find at most supermarkets. These gluten-free breaded pork chops reheat very well and make a perfect pairing for a variety of vegetables, starches and legumes. This recipe can also be used to make gluten-free breaded chicken tenders.
I like gluten-free breaded pork chops using the rice/tapioca flour combination, because the flour is fine and very lightly coats the meat, avoiding that heavily breaded taste. Have your side dishes ready once you start frying, because these will be ready pronto!
