Easy Oven Baked Parmesan Pork Chops

Oven-baked-parmesan-pork-chops

It doesn’t get any easier than this, Folks. My kids were RAVING about these Easy Oven Baked Parmesan Pork Chops that my husband made and 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. ;)) His favorite pork chops are these Pesto Parmesan Pork Chops.

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 mashed potatoes and steamed green beans. I made a quick gravy out of the drippings. It was pretty delicious.Oven-baked-parmesan-pork-chops-real-life-dinner

how to make Easy Oven Baked Parmesan Pork Chops

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 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 bowl big enough to dip pork chops in. (I like to use a pie tin.)
  • One at a time, dip a pork chop first in the egg wash and then in the bread crumb mixture. Place on a large cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray and repeat until all pork chops have been breaded.
  • Bake at 350 for 1 hour. If pork chops are extra-thick or are bone-in pork chops, you may need to increase cooking time. If they are thin, reduce cooking time to 30-40 min.

Tips for making Easy Oven Baked Parmesan Pork Chops
  • I love Italian Bread Crumbs for this recipe, but any bread crumbs will work.
  • Don’t forget to salt and pepper your pork chops before breading them, or you can just add extra salt and pepper to the bread crumbs.
  • Use Parmesan cheese from a canister, not freshly grated.
  • I put the bread crumb mixture in a pie tin for easy dipping of the pork chops.
  • Depending on the thickness of the pork chops or are bone-in pork chops, you may need to increase or decrease the baking time.
  • For easier cleaning of the cookie sheet afterward, place a silicone mat down on the cookie sheet instead of spraying it with cooking spray.

    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?

      I use a rack in the pan to keep them from being soggy on one side.

    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.

    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.
