Baked Pork Chops

recipe for baked pork chops

These simple oven baked pork chops are coated in a seasoned breadcrumb mixture that isn’t a big mess to prep – perfect for a weeknight dinner. Look for Japanese panko breadcrumbs which are coarse and crunchy. This recipe calls for Italian seasoning but feel empowered to change up the flavor with an herb and spice blend of your choice (just check the label to make sure there isn’t added sodium): a peppercorn mix, or even pumpkin pie spice would work nicely. Or try adding finely chopped fresh herbs like parsley, tarragon and dill to the breading along with fresh lemon zest. You can even make the seasoned breadcrumbs ahead of time and store it in a plastic resealable bag in the freezer – just add the oil and then shake and bake your pork chops.
