I made this up one day because I was wanting something different then the same old pan-fried pork chops (that is how my husband asked me to cook them that day). So I made this up real fast, and boy did he love them. Now he asks for them every time. I do this with boneless and bone-in pork chops. So it doesn't matter what kind you have on hand, just cook them up and enjoy.

Onion Pan-Fried Pork Chops

(1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix

pork chops

all-purpose flour

olive oil

Before opening the onion soup mix, use your hands to crush the larger bits of onion in the packet. Open the packet, and pour the mix into a shallow bowl. Stir in the flour.


Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. The oil is hot enough when a pinch of the flour mixture sizzles when tossed into the oil. Coat pork chops in the onion soup mixture, and shake off the excess. Carefully place in the hot oil. Turn chops over after about 30 seconds to quickly sear both sides. Cook for about 4 minutes per side, or to desired degree of doneness.


Outstanding! I did not have onion soup mix, but using the general recipe, I added dried minced onion, garlic powder, sea salt and pepper. Good extra-virgin olive oil is important, too. My husband asked that we have this again, next week!

What I loved most about this recipe was that it was so quick and easy! I added garlic powder and some salt and pepper to the flour/onion soup mixture for flavor. They came out crispy on the outside (careful not to burn though!) and moist on the inside. Thanks for the idea!

I also tried this on chicken, very good...just had to cook it longer.

This was a good dish. In my experience, the onion soup mix and flour mixture didn't offer enough flavor. Once in the oil, it didn't really stick very well. I think I will try vegetable oil next time instead of olive oil. It didn't seem to cook quite hot enough. The meat was done no problem, but the cuts didn't get crispy at all and actually stayed a bit oily. I will try this again. Maybe it's me and not the recipe. 

Thank you for this awesome, so easy to make recipe!  The ingredients listed coated 6 pork chops for me.  After I coated the chops, I lay them in a dish, covered with a plastic wrap and placed it in the fridge for an hour.  I also didn't do too good a job in crushing the big onion pieces in the packet, but that worked out well for me.  I opened up a canned chicken gravy. While that was heating up, I took the burnt onion pieces out of the oil and mixed it into the  gravy.  That added an extra punch to the gravy.  I served with Fried Rice and steamed broccoli.  Next time, I'll try to serve it with tomato and mango salad (diced tomatoes + chopped onion + diced mango + chopped cilantro + juice of lime).  
This will definitely be a part of the meal rotations list.

Good basic recipe, but I added bread crumbs for a little more crunch to the coating.  These were very tasty!

This was a very quick and easy recipe.  I put the ingredients in a bag to coat evenly, then after cooking the chops I added water to the leftover onion and flour mixture, added that to the pan and heated to make an awesome gravy.  My picky daughter liked it.  Thanks for the recipe:)

I was going to give this a low rating but my partner really liked it.  It was super easy to prepare, the meat was very moist - my complaint was that I knew I was tasting Lipton Onion Soup mix.  I make Lipton's Onion Dip all the time and love it but didn't appreciate that same flavor in the pork chops.  It reminded me so much of the dip that I ended up dipping my pork chops in sour cream!  So if you like Lipton Onion Soup mix - go for this recipe - it was liked by my guy so I will make it again when I need a quick recipe.  Thanks submitter.

I found this recipe enough for 5 - 6 pork chops. I used bone-in and they were delicious. My husband loved them. I would definately make these again.

THIS IS A VERY GOOD RECIPE! GARLIC POWDER WORKS TOO IF YOU DONT HAVE ONION MIX. I MADE THIS FOR MY BOYFRIEND AND ALL HIS FRIENDS THEY LOVED IT. I WOULD DIP THE CHOPS IN EGG BEFORE THE FLOUR, THEY COME OUT CRISPY AND MUCH TASTIER I DECIDED THIS HALFWAY THROUGH COOKING THEM. EXAMPLE: THE CHOPS THAT HAD BEEN DIPPED IN EGG WERE ALL EATEN FIRST WHILE THE ONES THAT WEREN'T KINDA SAT THERE!

Im not sure i can fairly rate this recipe. I failed to check the temp of the oil first. And therefore i had to cook them alot longer that stated in the recipe. The onion burned and it didnt taste very good at all. I might try again cause i love onion soup mix.

My family and I loved this recipe. Even my picky kids ate them! I had 4 medium boneless chops, so I doubled the flour, but still only used 1 envelope of onion soup mix. I also added a little garlic powder, and black pepper to the mix. 

These were so simple to make. I had 6 bone in chops, so I used 2 packets of the lipton onion soup mix and 1/2 cup flour. I also seasoned the mixture with garlic powder, black pepper, and season salt. I dipped the chops in egg first then coated. Be sure to keep the pan on medium heat so that the onions do not burn. My came out delicious!

This was EXCELLENT!  I didn't have the dried soup mix on hand so I improvised by adding garlic salt and onion powder to the flour until I had a good flavor.  I am sure that if I use the dried soup mix, it will be equally great since we love that flavor.  So easy to do also!  THANK YOU!

This is simple and delicious, providing you add spice to your personal tastes.  I never follow a recipe to the letter because I know my family's desires.  So, I added some garlic powder, breadcrumbs, cayenne pepper to the existing ingredients and only used about 4-5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to cook 4 sort of thin chops.  Wow, was this GREAT!  It's a nice way to keep the chops moist.  My (21-year-old) son carmelized some onions and we served some of that on top of each chop.  Excellent!  This will be a repeat dinner.  :)

Super easy, super fast, and supper yummy!

Added some garlic powder and bread crumbs, used veggie oil instead of olive...turned out GREAT! Boyfriend even raved!

This is a great way to change it up a bit. I have made them as directed and tonight ventured off on my own with this recipe...Oven baked. I sprayed my baking dish with cooking spray first and then sprayed the top of the chops before placing in a 425 degree oven for 20min. Everyone loves these chops. Thanks for the recipe

This is always one of my husbands favourite when it comes to pork chops. I did everything in the recipe, except for crushing the bits of onion. The pork chops come out juicy and full of flavour!

enjoyed by the whole family---putting it into the dinner rotation.

Great recipe!  I was worried that the flour and onion mix wouldn't be enough flavor, and that it wouldn't stick to my chops, so i tweaked this recipe by doing the following:

Pat the porkchops dry with paper towel

rub each side with clove of garlic cut in half

sprinkle each side with salt/pepper and rub in

drag through the flour/soup mix mixture and fry as directed

I should also mention I used veg oil instead of Olive.

This was a really simple, pretty good meal. I would use less oil, but it turned out pretty well with some rice.

I added the 1/4 cup of bread crumbs as other suggested, and these pork chops ROCKED!  I did have to cook them for much longer than the recipe said.  I usually don't care for pork chops, but this recipe was great and I will definitely use it again.

Can I have an Amen on these truly Delicious pork chops!!?? They were moist for one thing and they practically made themselves they were so easy to fix.I didn't measure the flour, I just put some on a pie plate and add the onion soup mix after I crunched it up a bit,Perfect Perfect!! Thank You to Ms. PecanGirl for creating these Fab. chops!! My photo would have looked fine but Carli's is even better!

Great with fast-fry chops as well (just adjust cooking time).

I used thin sliced chops with Lipton's Herb and Garlic instead of Onion Soup mix.  Tasted good.  I fried each chop 1 minute, flipped and cooked another minute, and repeated this two more times (total cook time 4 minutes).  Toward the end I decided to just cook each side 2 minutes instead of flipping every other minute (bad idea....edges got too brown and curled up).  Will make again because it was very easy and my husband liked it.

Very good, quick and easy!  I don't care for pork chops and on the rare occasion I make them, I bake them.  Husband brought home some bone in chops today and I wanted to try something different.  These were so good - my picky kids ate them.  I made 10 pork chops, so I used 2 packets of dry onion soup and 1/2c flour.  Also used vegetable oil instead of olive and seasoned chops with pepper and garlic salt prior to putting in flour mixture.

This recipe was ok.....a little salty. I actually gave my boneless porkchops a quick dip in milk before coating in the onion/flour mix. This helped it stick alot better. I added garlic powder and black pepper. I also fried in canola oil because some reviewers were saying the olive oil didnt get hot enough. Afterwards i rested them on a paper towels to dry up any excess oil.

Yummy &amp; easy recipe. I didn't deep fry, only used a couple tbsp of oil and pan fried - 4 minutes was a bit much, so I did about 3 and it came out great. Added some garlic powder and Italian seasoning because I love a lot of flavour. :) Served with onion sweet potatoes on this site.

There was not much flavor but I still gave this recipe a 5 star rating because it provided a different and very enjoyable way to serve pork chops. I'm not a fan of pork but this recipe allowed the pork chops to remain moist. All this recipe possibly needs is some garlic powder and onion powder mixed in with the flour and soup mix. Thanks!

Very good.  Nice change for normal pan fried pork chops.  Pretty good with a beef gravy as well (home made or from a jar).

This is such a fast and easy recipe, I LOVE it!!!!  I have substitued the onion soup mix for a garden veggie soup mix to try something different and it turned out great.

This recipe made my chops delicious. I mixed my onion soup mix with some flour and then fried them and they came out great. My kids really liked them. Next time I think I will add garlic powder to enhance the flavor. thank you!

quick and easy is what these should be named. Very good, family loved it. Thanks for adding this simple recipe! These are the kind I love. I was a little nervous it would be salty but they were perfect. I used 1/2 a package of the onion soup mix on 3 tiny pork chops. I only used 2 T of olive oil.

This tasted so strong of onion soup mix.  It was just way too much.  I won't make this again.

I must admit that I was a little skeptical, but these were awesome!! My whole family loved them! I followed the directions as written and made onion gravy to go over them and the mashed potatoes! I will be making these again and soon! Thank you for a great recipe!

This is a great recipe that's really simple to make...I had to be careful and not buy the beef onion soup mix cause it was WAY to salty.

Very good recipe.  I would give it 5 stars but I did modify it just a bit. Instead of frying the porkchops I baked them in a foil covered pan. I rubbed some oil at the bottom of my pan so the porkchops wouldn't stick. I also added some garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper to the chops before flouring them and added a bit of season bread crumbs to the flour mixture. Finally during the last 5 minutes I put some french onion potato chip  dip on the chops and added some half and half to create a bit of a gravy.

DELICIOUS!!  My family said to "Thank You" for the best pork chops they ever tasted!
Easy, Quick, Moist, Tasty!!!

Just finished eating these. Two thumbs up! Quick &amp; easy, just remember to keep flipping them, using tongs was easiest.

This was fantastic!! My chops came out both crispy and juicy and my hubby loved every bite! This will definietly be a regular!

We tried this, but my husband and I were not impressed. The onion soup made them VERY salty, it was too much. Next time I would cut down on the soup mix.

Love this recipe! My hubby said I have to make it again, and that's a huge compliment. He's already bought more pork chops. It is very strong, but we love spicy food. Excellent recipe!

This recipe resulted in some very moist, tender and flavorful porkchops.  I did add some garlic, pepper and salt to taste.  Served with creamy mashed potatoes and cheesy broccoli.  Even my daughter, who 'hates porkchops', was caught grabbing a couple bites of these.

I added Italian bread crumbs and a few seasonings such as garlic, salt and pepper, parsley and a dash of hot pepper.

We enjoyed this recipe, however I did add a few minor changes.  I added garlic salt and ground black pepper prior to frying. Also, I initially found the french union soup by itself to be a bit "much"...So I took about a cup or so of french fried durkees onions (crushed), mixed with about half the french onion soup.  DELICIOUS!  Tender--most and very flavorful.  

I absolutely loved this recipe...my 8-year-old picked all the breading off and ate it...I thought the breading was the best part.  I did substitute bread crumbs for the flour and added some garlic salt and garlic pepper.  I also dipped them in eggs before the dry ingredients.  Make sure you don't cook too high or you will burn them!

What a simple yet delicious recipe. I added a little garlic powder and cooked the chops in canola oil and they were delicious and juicy. Thanks

Very good, my husband loved them. Used 1/4 cup of ital.bread crumbs mixed in the flour &amp; soup mix. Put pepper &amp; garlic salt on chops before frying. Nice flavor.  Had enough coating for 4 med. thick chops.

This was so good!!  I was looking for something different to do with my pork chops and came across this.  It has such a different taste to it, not your normal pork chops and the whole family LOVED it.. including my 3 year old and 2 year old... Definitely going to make this again.  Thanks :)

Very tasty. Added a lot of flavor. Thanks for the great idea!

I was shocked at how much my fiance and I enjoyed these!  I was worried about it tasting too much like onion soup mix, but it didn't.  I had no problems with the batter sticking, either.  My fiance proclaimed this was a remake, so I'll be making it again!

Made this for my boyfriend and I, we both loved it!  I added garlic salt, and it sounds odd, but a packet of ranch dressing mix.  I also fried it with onions and mushrooms for a topping when served.

I have been doing this same thing (exactly, right down to the olive oil) for years. It is SO good and it works great as a dredge for fried chicken as well (use vegetable oil for chicken instead of olive oil). I am making these tonight with some nice thin bone in chops. Can't wait!

This was a pretty good recipe :) I added a little to it though to give the pork chops themselves more flavor, because if by chance the flour/onion soup mix comes off while frying, the chops would be left without much flavor. I rubbed them with some all- seasoning, cumin, and pepper. Before I dipped them in the flour mixture, I dipped them in a little eggwash so the flour mix will hold better...I also added some breadcrumbs to the flour mix (I know a previous commenter here said they did that so I decided to try)...It came out very moist inside, crispy outside, and very flavorful :)

I made this one week night for dinner.  It was excellent!  
I was hesitant to use Lipton Onion Soup (MSG) but I did as well as I tweeked the recipe just a tad (not that it needed it), that is just me.  I added garlic powder, grated Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs to the flour/onion soup mixture and fried it as instructed, but on my side burner on my Gas Grill to alleviate the fried food smell inside.  It worked out great! My husband and I loved it.  And as the other reviews stated, nice and crisp outside and moist and juicy inside. No need for a steak sauce on the side. The next day I reheated one pork chop in the Microwave and it was just as good as the night before.  
I plan to use this recipe for Chicken Cutlets and Cubed Steak in the future.  It seems guilt free as you are using EVOO (olive oil) instead of the artery clogging vegetable oil.

Thank you MSPECANGIRL417 for the great recipe!!! :-) This one is now on a recipe card as well as in my favorites.

Another recipe that I make at least twice a month!  I add about 1/4 cup of bread crumbs, but that's the only change I make.  These have a wonderful flavor!

i thought it was good but my family loved it i did add a few extra things :)

The first time I made these I used onion soup mix and they were very good.  This time I added onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper to the flour and I like them even better.

These pork chops were really good! We used vegetable oil instead of olive oil and they turned out great! I recommend coating the pork chops in egg before coating them, the coating stays on much better when cooking them. Also, make sure you do not overcook them because the onion bits from the onion soup mix will burn. I will make these again!

Very good, just not as crunchy on the outside as I had hoped

I didn't find this bland at all. I made a milk gravy out of the flour I used to dread  the pork in and pan drippings. My family raved! Thanks for sharing.

very quick and easy. The kids loved it. A little strong on the onion flavor - next time I will try adding a little more flour to balance it out.

This was great! Everyone loved it. I used bone in and sprinkled some salt over each side. I made four chops and there was still plenty of mix for more. It was a hit so I'll try it again.

Mmmmmm!  Awesome!  This is fast, easy, delicious, and I had all the ingredients in my kitchen already.  I didn't need to make any changes, and they came out perfect and well-seasoned.  This is going to be a new stand-by.

Fast, easy and good. I followed the recipe. I crushed the onion soup mix with a rolling pin (careful not to pop the bag). Hubby loved it.

Easy! Fast! Yummy! What more could I ask for?  Well, how about the fact that it is fool-proof? Now that I found this recipe I will never again have to eat pork chops with the consistency of shoe leather!

Love having these recipes available for a quick meal.  This was really good.  I added a little more flour because I had 6 pork chops.  I thought I would not need any more salt because of the soup. I was wrong.   Needed more. I added it at the end of frying and also added garlic and pepper as suggested (minimal changes)  Delicious!  Thank you!

Very good and easy :)  didn't change recipe at all.

This was an awesome recipe.  I am not an "onion" lover per say but these ingredients really gave the pork chops flavor!

I really liked this idea! I used half bread crumbs and half flour, and ground black pepper in addition to the onion soup  mix. I also coated the chops in a beaten egg and buttermilk mixture to make more of a breading. The chops were moist and tender, and very flavorful. My husband hates pork chops but asked for seconds this time!

I liked that these were very easy to make. I just thought the texture was a little different. Next time I try making them, I'll have to make sure to completely crush the onions.

Made these for a friend and he raved about how tender and delicious they were. Followed the recipe exactly.

I had to sign up just so that I could write a review for this AWESOME recipe!  I added the 1/4 cup of dry breadcrumbs as suggested, as well as salt and pepper, and cut the onion soup down to 1/2 package.  I also added about a tablespoon of butter to the pan as the chops were cooking.  My husband says this is one of the best dishes I have ever made for him (and he likes ALL my cooking!)  It is so simple and so flavorful, and we'll definitely be cooking this again and again.  In fact, I'm going to premix a container of flour, onion soup mix, and breadcrumbs to have on hand. Thank you!!

This was a great recipe. I followed others advice and seasoned the chops before breading and added breadcrumbs to the flour/onion mixture.
Very tender and juicy on the inside while keeping the outside nice and crispy.

These were very good. My husband, who doesn't like pork chops (I think I converted him.. they are my favorite), even liked them very much!

This recipe was great!  It gave me a new wonderful taste and way to cook my pork chops.  My family loved theses and begged me to make them again.

I try not to deep fry much but this was def good.

I do basically the same thing but instead of flour I use italian bread crumbs.  Keeep temperature med-low.  Then I take a packet of brown gravy mix, mix it with mostly milk, and stir it in.  Its so good it will make you lose brain cells!!

OMG!!!! These are GREAT!!!! Simple and fast. My husband and I LOVED THEM. I have passed this recipe along to my children and friends. Thank you 

I made this the other night and the whole family loved them! I tweaked a little. Make sure that you season your flour or even better yet, what I used was a "southern fry" mix (all sorts of brands make it and it's seasoned allready). I was using rather thick pork chops. I dipped them in egg then the onion soup/flour mix - back in egg and did it again. I fried them for a few minutes on each side till a nice golden brown then stuck them in a pre-heated over on 375 for a few more minutes until the meat thermometer read 160. (use a broiler pan so you keep crisp bottoms too). This let the grease drain and really crisped up the coating. DELICIOUS!!!

This was so easy and so good.  I had two
large pork steaks.  I used half of the onion soup and added garlic.  My son gave it 10 stars.  This is a keeper.  Thanks for sharing this recipe.

My 4 year old daughter gave this recipe a high compliment (for a little girl, that is!).  She said, "Mommy...this is better than chicken nuggets!".  I added breadcrumbs as suggested by other reviews.  This was very tasty.  Thanks for sharing!

This was quick, easy and delicious! I was able to make 4 pork chops with this recipe and had a little flour mix left over.

Very good! Simple, easy, AND I made a gravy with the drippings by adding a bit of flour and 1/2 -n- 1/2 or, whole milk.  Hubby and Father In Law liked it!  Will make again, thanks for the recipe!

this was simple and good too. I love the flavor and the crispness of the fried pork chop.

Delicious! Was out of flour so I used panko and used mayo as the binding agent. It was moist tender we will definately have it again!

I loved this receipe and used it for lunch.  I did add and little bit of garlic, salt and pepper just like one of the reviews and this was excellent!

Worked out very well and the leftovers were even good the next day.

I did not follow the recipe as stated but adapted it using other spices since I didn't have the onion soup mix.  I also added whole wheat panko breading for more crunch as another reader had suggested.  I found this to be fairly good, easy, and would make it again.

WHAT A WONDERFUL THING .......AND EASY....   THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS DELISH RECIPE.....

This was easy and my husband and I both loved it. I didn't have onion soup so I used a dry onion-mushroom soup and I added some garlic powder! Yum!

I coated the chops w/flour seasoned w/garlic salt, &amp; pepper. Seared them in a pan w/about 2 TBSP oil, about 3 minutes on each side. Spray the crock pot w/Pam cooking spray, add chops, onion soup mix, I cooked this in the crock pot on low for 8 hrs &amp; it was great &amp; really tender!! About 15 minutes before done, I preheated oven to 325, place chops on a platter &amp; cover w/aluminum foil, put in preheated oven while making gravy.. Pour liquid into a sauce pan (only because I can't be bothered waiting for the crock pot to heat up to make gravy) Mix about a cup of milk &amp; 1/2 cup flour w/a wisk (don't want lumps),gradually add to liquid WITH A WISK stirring constantly until desired thickness (will thicken as gravy cools.) Can be served over rice or noodles, serve w/fresh salad &amp; rolls.

Excellent recipe.  Favorite with the family.

Definitely add the 1/4 cup bread crumbs as suggested by others, it will make the onion soup less overpowering.  I've made them twice &amp; find I have enough coating for 4 pork chops.  If you can find Golden Onion soup mix, I think that would work better, but I usually have a hard time finding it.
