Transformed dinner tonight with this new spin on the humble pork chop – Parmesan-Encrusted Baked Pork Chops! The crunchy, cheesy coating was to die for, and the pork? Oh, so tender! Gone are the days of dry, bland chops. My family is already clamoring for a repeat. They’re easy to make, too – a total win! Can’t recommend this enough for anyone looking to up their pork chop game.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 cup of Kraft parmesan cheese
- 1 cup of Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking pan with aluminum foil, then lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine parmesan cheese, Italian breadcrumbs, black pepper, and garlic powder to create your coating mixture.
Coat each pork chop with a generous amount of olive oil. This not only adds flavor but also allows the dry ingredients to adhere more effectively to the pork chop.
Proceed to immerse each pork chop in the cheese mixture. Apply some pressure to ensure the mixture adheres firmly, and all areas are well covered. This will help to create that irresistibly crispy exterior as they bake.
Arrange the pork chops on your prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden and the pork is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Serve hot and enjoy this delightful, elevated take on pork chops!
