Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups Prego marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it well with the breadcrumb mixture.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Spread 1 cup of Prego marinara sauce evenly in the bottom of a large casserole dish. Arrange the browned pork chops on top of the sauce.
Spoon the remaining 1 cup of marinara sauce over the pork chops and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and slightly golden.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving. Serve hot with pasta, salad, or garlic bread.
