QUICK AND EASY BAKED PORK CHOPS



Quick and Easy Baked Pork Chops image

This recipe only requires 4 ingredients (besides the pork chops), and it is super easy and fast to make...not to mention melt-in-your-mouth yummy!

Provided by Sable3569

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 -6 pork chops (I use bone-in 1/2 - 3/4-inch thick cuts)
1/4 cup ranch dressing (I used Hidden Valley)
3/4 cup breadcrumbs (I use Progresso Garlic and Herb)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • In a glass dish, coat the pork chops with the Ranch Dressing and allow to marinate for about 15 minutes.
  • In a separate shallow dish, mix the remaining ingredients.
  • Dredge each pork chop in the bread crumb mixture one by one.
  • Place the pork chops on a metal rack and place on top of a cookie sheet.
  • Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until cooked through.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season the pork chops well: Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs before cooking. This will help enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cook the pork chops over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning. This will also help prevent the meat from becoming tough.
  • Don't overcook the pork chops: Overcooked pork chops will be tough and dry. Cook the pork chops until they are just cooked through, or to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Pork chops are a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following the tips above, you can cook pork chops that are juicy, flavorful, and tender. Whether you're pan-frying, grilling, or baking them, pork chops are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
