Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- as needed Nonstick cooking spray
- optional (for freezing) Plastic wrap or freezer bags
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray.
In a shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Using a spoon or brush, spread Dijon mustard evenly over both sides of each pork chop.
Press each mustard-coated pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides. Place the coated pork chops onto the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over the tops of the breaded pork chops to help them crisp up while baking.
If freezing for later, place the coated pork chops in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid (about 2-3 hours). Once frozen, transfer the pork chops to a freezer bag or wrap them individually with plastic wrap. Label them with the date and cooking instructions.
To bake immediately, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the crust is golden brown.
If cooking from frozen, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, checking the internal temperature to ensure it reaches 145°F (63°C).
Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes!
