So I will admit…I haven’t really been cooking that long, so many things we have for dinner are trial and error. I have attempted pork chops before and my fiance hated them, so when I saw them on sale this week at the store, I figured I would have another go at it. I mean if I ruined the pork chops, at least I didn’t spend a ton of money on them.
Regardless of my Pinterest obsession and ease of finding recipes on the internet, I actually had a difficult time finding something that balanced our desire to eat healthy with taste, so I ended up combining a few different things to come up with the perfect meal and it was actually a HUGE SUCCESS!!
He even took the leftovers with him for lunch today! So let’s get started…
First mix together yogurt, water, salt & pepper…I use this instead of flour/egg mixtures because its much healthier and I think it also tastes a lot better! Next, Mix together panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and both types of Mrs. Dash seasoningNow, the next part is c
ompletely up to you. The pork chops I bought had a small bone on the outside of each along with some fat. My fiance hates any meat with fat, so I cut the bone and fat off each one as shown.
Next you, will put each pork chop into the yogurt mixture, then the panko mixture…making sure to coat each side evenly. Make sure you do not soak the pork chops in the yogurt mixture. Just a quick turn on each side will do.
After coating in the panko mixture, transfer to a greased baking dish. And place in the oven on 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes (the time will depend on your desired doneness– Medium for pork is 145 degrees and well done is 160 degrees).
Then broil for 5 minutes to get a nice crispy golden color on the top. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
I decided to serve them with corn and our infamous loaded mashed potatoes and it was all amazing.
Enjoy!
