Baked Pork Chops

 


From Food Network; simple, juicy and on table in a snap. I served with Zinfandel BBQ Sauce (blog 09/22/2024 label: sauces). Because I am gluten-free, I placed the breading on just the pork chop tops; as the gluten-free panko just falls off the bottoms. If you are using regular panko breading will stick on bottoms and sides much better! Note to self: I brown the gluten-free panko with olive oil and Italian seasonings ahead of time and have ready in the refrigerator. Just add the Parmesan.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cup panko (I use less as just applying to the chops' tops)
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 bone-in 3/4-inch pork chops (about 2 1/4 pounds)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 450-degrees.

Combine the panko, oil, Parmesan, Italian seasonings and 3/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Toss the pork chops with 1 tablespoons water in a bowl. 

Place prepared panko in a large bag, add the chops and shake to coat. Press firmly into the meat.

Place the pork chops onto a wire rack set on a baking sheet.

Bake until golden brown and internal temperature registers 145-degrees with an instant read thermometer. About 20 minutes.

Serve with BBQ Sauce.
