Easy Oven Baked Parmesan Pork Chops
It doesn’t get any easier then this folks. My kids we RAVING about these pork chops that my husband put in the oven while I was at a meeting (I left him the instructions, he’s cool, but not cool enough to just pull this out of his hiney, if you know what I mean.)
Anywho, back to the point. This meal is crazy easy and crazy delicious. My 9 year old said he wants these pork chops for his birthday dinner next year, which I am thrilled about. He has asked for Chicken Chimichangas every year so far and they take about 100 times as long to prepare, so I am totally holding him to that request.
And then there’s Char…She loved these big chicken nuggets 🙂
We served these pork chops with mash potatoes and steamed green beans. I made a quick gravy out of the drippings. It was pretty delicious.
Fabulous weeknight dinners
- 6-8 boneless pork chops, 1 inch thick
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, (I just use the canister not fresh grated.
- salt and pepper
- Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops
- Combine beaten egg and milk in a shallow bowl big enough to dip pork chops in
- Combine Italian bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a shallow bow big enough to dip pork chops in (I like to use a pie tin)
- One at a time, dip the pork chop first in the egg wash and then in the bread crumb mixture, place on a large cookie sheet and repeat until all pork chops have been breaded
- Bake at 350 for 1 hour ...if pork chops are extra thick you may need to increase cooking time, If they are thin reduce cooking time to 30-40 min.
Meals you can make in 30 minutes or less
Do you put any oil in the pan before placing the breaded chops on it? I saw it mentioned that gravy was then made with the drippings, but I don’t see any drippings in the picture of the pan with some chops removed. Were drippings removed prior to taking photo? Thanks for clarification.
Hi Ellen. I sprayed the cookie sheet with cooking spray before cooking. To make gravy I added a couple cups of water to the little brown bits that were left on the pan when I removed the pork chops. I always do that when there are not enough drippings for gravy. So basically I made my own drippings. It works great, you just put a couple cups of water and stir it around as you scrap all the little brown parts up. Very flavorful.
I was wondering if it’s needed to turn the pork chops over at any point during baking?
no, you can if you want, but it’s not necessary.
I use a rack in the pan to keep them from being soggy on one side.
So, so, smart!!
I made this for dinner tonight and the whole family LOVED it! Thanks for the recipe!
Yay! 🙂
Yummy! I added salt and pepper to the egg wash rather than the breadcrumb/cheese mixture. Other than that, I followed the recipe. Very moist and delicious.
Great idea with the s&p. So glad you liked the recipe.
Ha. I love the “big chicken nugget” comment. I love these and made them often when my kids were little and only wanted chicken nuggets. We called this “pork chicky” and served it with ranch. It was always a big hit. We still joke about it even though they are older now.
Ha! Yes! Our family loves “Big Chicken Nuggets” 🙂
I grew up in a big Italian family and they said just tell my mom made them they are so easy to come out so delicious this is a win-win
Awesome!!!!
