First of all, I would like to thank you all for the Happy Birthday wishes for Gregg. He was very touched and enjoyed reading everyone's comment. You all added a very genuine warmth to this special milestone.
Now for the recipe, a simple but very tasty way to cook pork chops. It came from "Just A Pinch" by Janet. You can find her recipe here. Thanks Janet!
Parmesan Baked Pork Chops
Serves 4
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes
4 boneless pork chops about 1/2 inch thick
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Italian Breadcrumbs (I used a blender to crumble a day old roll and added a good dash of Italian Seasoning)
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
On a plate combine the last 4 ingredients. Rub the pork chops with olive oil and dip each one into the cheese/breadcumb mixture. Press the mixture over the pork chops to coat really well and completely covered.
Line a pan with tin foil and spray with cooking spray.
Place the pork chops on the pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 to 45 minutes.

I forgot to take a photo the first night, and can't remember now what we served it with, but we must have had potatoes for one side dish. The next day we shared the leftover pork chop for brunch, with leftover potatoes that I sauteed in a smidgen of olive oil, a fried egg and a broiled tomato (not shown), also a little Branston Chutney. This second pork chop dish was delicious.
WOW this looks good!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ginny, it is an excellent recipe.
DeleteThis looks simple and delicious, Denise! I love pork chops. Thank you so much for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda, me too :)
DeleteSadly it wouldn't be a winner here. I don't eat pork, himself doesn't eat Parmesan.
ReplyDeleteWe both love Branston chutney though.
Can't win them all EC :). As the old saying goes, it would be a boring old world if we were all the same.
DeleteHi, This sounds so tasty and easy clean-up too! Hope you have a nice first day of spring!
ReplyDeleteHi Mildred, it was a very easy clean-up. My kind of meal :) Happy Spring!
DeleteHi Denise and what a tasty looking meal, all the best. John
ReplyDeleteHi John, thank you and the same to you.

Thank you Francisco, and a hug and a good week to you also.
DeleteJust the other day I wondered why I never experienced mouth-watering. No need to worry, one look at the chops photo my taste buds were back in action. Seriously, I have printed off this recipe for pork chops and will try it out next weekend. I love pork chops, and at the moment my fad is to coat with mustard and sprinkle with black pepper before cooking. Thanks, Denise.
ReplyDeleteThat makes me happy Valerie :) Please let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Your mustard and black pepper recipe sounds relish.
DeleteI've just ordered some chops ... whoopee!
DeleteThat's great Valerie :)
DeleteHello, sounds like a great recipe for Pork Chops. I will give it a try. Happy 1st day of Spring. Have a great new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen, hope you enjoy, and the same to you :)
Deleteyummmmmmmmmmm the whole plate looks delish to me.. we had crockpot pork chops the past 2 days..
ReplyDeleteYour crockpot meal makes me want to go on a hunt for a recipe. Thanks Sandra!
Deleteit looks delicious and happy birthday gregg!
ReplyDeleteThank you Tanya and I will pass on your birthday wishes to Gregg.
DeleteWe just happen to be having boneless chops today but the micro manager is spoiling them in the slow cooker.
ReplyDeleteSecond comment on slow cooker pork chops. Must find a recipe. Thanks Red!
DeleteI'd like that!
ReplyDeleteGreat William :)
DeleteMmmmmm, that sounds delicious!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have to eat Gluten Free (really!) but my husband makes G/F bread crumbs, for things like Eggplant Parm. So he could do so, with this recipe, too.

I have a nephew who eats gluten free. When visiting the States he was pleasantly surprised how many places here catered to these special diets. Gentle Spring hugs to you too LC.
DeleteOh Denise don't cook them in the crockpot. Red is right, that spoils them. Your recipe sounds absolutely perfect.
ReplyDeleteGood to know Sallie, I think I have changed my mind and will stick to this.
DeleteWe also enjoy pork chops and have served them in a similar way and included roasted sweet potato slices an an accompaniment. I was curious about the fried egg seen in your photos, Denise.
ReplyDeleteHi Beatrice, I forgot to mention that with our breakfast the next day we had all mentioned in my last paragraph along with a fried egg that we cooked alongside the leftover potatoes and the tomato. I have updated my paragraph now. Thanks for pointing that out.
DeleteOh I will be making these! we just had stuffed pork chops tonight for dinner, but we bought them at the deli at Publix. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've got me thinking about Seasons 52. My son is turning 21 in June and I think we may take him to dinner there for his bday. They are opening a restaurant at the mall in April. :)
hope your first day of Spring was nice. :)
hugs,
Marie
Hi Marie, stuffed pork chops sounds wonderful. I wish we had Publix in our area. We went in them on our trip around Florida. Great store! Special birthday for your son soon. Exciting!
DeleteThese look so delicious! I will definitely be trying these! A Happy Belated Birthday to your dear Gregg, too! Happy spring! xx Karen
ReplyDeleteHi Beatrice, I do hope you enjoy and thank you so much for Gregg's birthday wishes :)
DeleteIn my opinion, anything with parmesan is good. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe. Will surely try this!
You are very welcome Lux G. I like anything with Parmesan also ;)
