Breaded Pork Chops Baked By Kelly Miller • January26,2019 • 18 Comments 7.3K 98 Jump to Recipe Jump to VideoJuicy, breaded pork chops baked coated in ranch dressing, Italian bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese. A quick & easy comfort-food dinner! I feel like every time I make these breaded pork chops everyone tells me how I need to make them more. And I have to say, I totally agree with them! I’m just so used to grabbing ground beef or chicken during my usual grocery trip that I just forget about pork a lot of the time. I think the reason I stray away from pork is because I always remember my mom cooking them in a skillet on the stove growing up. And I HATE frying anything. I can’t stand the splatter and the fact that I have to babysit the stove top. I mean really, I don’t have time for that! I can tell you for certain though, baked pork chops turn out just as flavorful and WAY juicier – if you haven’t cooked pork chops this way, you simply have to! How long do you bake breaded pork chops? In this recipe, bake the pork chops at 425 degrees for 25 – 35 minutes. Be sure to check the internal temperature with a thermometer to see if the center of the chops have reached 145 degrees as this can vary depending on how thick the pork chops are. Can you grill these pork chops instead? I would not recommend grilling these pork chops because the breading would most likely fall through the grates of the grill. Stick to baking with this recipe! How do you make breaded pork chops? Pat the chops dry with paper towels. Pour the ranch dressing in a shallow bowl and place the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a second shallow bowl. Dip the pork chops first in the ranch dressing and then in the Parmesan/bread crumb mixture. Arrange in baking dish. Bake and serve with steamed veggies. Pro tips for recipe success: Pat the pork chops dry – do not skip this step! It helps the ranch dressing and the breading stick to the pork much easier. Use bone-in pork chops instead of boneless. It’s cheaper and it packs more flavor! Keep an eye on the chops near the end of the time to be sure the breading doesn’t over brown. Be sure to discard any remaining ranch dressing or breading mixture from the dipping bowls for food safety reasons. Ways to shortcut this recipe: Mix the Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs and place in a ziploc bag. You can even make up multiple bags of this breading to keep on hand in the pantry. Make it ahead of time! Dip and bread the pork chops and cover baking dish tightly with plastic wrap. Just remove plastic wrap before baking! Serve with frozen microwave steamed veggies for a quick side dish If you liked this Breaded Pork Chops recipe, please leave a rating and a comment below this post!

Terry says May 17, 2018 at 10:36 pm The pork chops were easy to make. They were tender and the ranch dressing gave them a nice flavor and they were juicy. My family loved them and told me to keep the recipe and make them again. Reply

vic says July 31, 2019 at 12:56 am so two questions. Why are my chops sticking to the bottom of the dish. Why are the bread crumbs not browning evenly? Great recipe but I think I am doing something wrong Reply
Alisha Ross says January 30, 2020 at 4:12 am I have stuffed chicken breast before, with feta cheese and arugula or something like this. And my Family was indeed impressed ? The Caprese combo sounds pretty amazing! Reply
