Crispy Breaded Pork Chops
When I was a kid, my mom’s friend Debbie often had my brother and me over for dinner because she lived right upstairs from us. We were always excited to go, and she was so good to us. She would make broccoli, Rice-a-Roni, and Shake-n-Bake pork chops. Growing up in a home where my mom made everything from scratch, these dishes were new to us, and we loved them. I have recreated them from scratch, these baked breaded pork chops are amazing and so much better than Shake-n-Bake! Even my husband (who’s not a big pork chop fan) LOVES them because they are tender inside, with a crispy texture on the outside and so much flavor. I also have an Air Fryer Breaded Pork Chop version here if you prefer to air fry them.
Pork Chop Ingredients
Pork chops: I used 3/4-inch thick center cut boneless pork chops. You can also use bone-in, just add a few more minutes to the cook time. Seasoning: kosher salt, sweet paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder and black pepper Crispy Breadcrumbs: panko breadcrumbs, crushed cornflakes crumbs and grated parmesan cheese Binder: 1 large beaten egg

Variations:
Egg Substitutes: If you’re allergic to eggs, use Dijon mustard, vegan mayonnaise, or buttermilk. Cornflake Swaps: Use all panko or sub cornflakes with corn chip, corn Chex, or cracker crumbs. Serve with lemon wedges and fresh parsley if you want garnish. Cooking Time: If you use bone-in pork chops or ones that are thicker or thinner than a ¾-inch, adjust the cooking time by a few minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temp, which will be 145 degrees when done.
Storage:
Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
How long do you cook pork chops in the oven?
I bake these breaded pork chops for 20 minutes at 425 degrees. If your chops aren’t crispy, here are a couple of tips:
How do you keep breading on pork chops?
I dip the pork chops in egg before the panko-seasoning mixture. The egg keeps the breading from falling off.
