Recipes to Share: Pork Chop Parmesan

Yum and then some! We eat lots of white meat. I make pork chops in just a couple simple ways over and over and was looking to try something different. Breading chops can take a lot of time and that's not a resource I have in excess. So, I did this a totally easy and lazy way. Don't judge until you try it and see it didn't make a huge difference in the end.

You'll need:
A glass or ceramic baking dish
6-8 chops (or 3-4 butterfly chops)
bread crumbs
olive oil
oregano
garlic powder
Mrs. Dash garlic herb seasoning
(You wouldn't need the extra seasoning if you have Italian bread crumbs)
spaghetti sauce
shredded parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly coat baking dish with olive oil. Sprinkle with bread crumbs to lightly cover. Lay pork chops on top and repeat drizzling a light amount on olive oil over the chops and then sprinkling with bread crumbs. Then season each chop with a couple dashes of each of your preferred Italian seasonings.

Place dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. You can flip after 10 if you'd prefer and check for progress toward doneness. At 20 minutes, top each chop with sauce and sprinkle with the shredded parmesan. Place back in the over to heat through and melt cheese before serving.

Beccause these weren't breaded the traditional way, I scooped up some of the bread crumbs that were cooked in the oil in the pan and crumbled them on top of each chop when serving for some extra goodness. For 1/2 an hour or so of work, these were delish!

I also paired it with this pinterest find.


As you can imagine, I didn't follow her directions to a T. I put all the biscuit pieces in a sprayed round cake pan and poured the melted butter and seasonings over the top of all of it. Then, I sprinkled some of the remaining shredded parmesan cheese from the pork chops and served it with some excess spaghetti sauce. This baked up in about 10-12 minutes.
