Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops

Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops

Ingredients:

Pork chops (this will coat about 8 or 9 medium size chops)

2 cups Italian bread crumbs

1 cup Parmesan cheese

1 envelope Italian dressing mix

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 cup Ranch dressing (you can use a good bottled Ranch or I like to make my own with a mix)

a sprinkle of black pepper

a sprinkle of seasoned salt

Instructions:

Pork chops (I used boneless loin chops and did 9 of them with this recipe), Italian bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, ranch dressing (you can use a good bottled dressing or make your own).

Pour a cup of the ranch dressing over the pork.

Make sure all of the meat is covered in the dressing.  Let this sit and marinade while you prepare the crumb coating.

Mix the Italian bread crumbs, the Italian dressing, and the Parmesan cheese in a Ziploc bag.  Place about 2 or 3 chops at a time in the bag and seal.  Toss it around to coat on all sides well.  Place foil on a baking sheet and spray well with baking spray.  I like to use Reynolds Wrap non-stick foil.  It browns the crust so well.  Invest in a roll of this foil for recipes like this...the results are worth it.  When you have all of the chops coated sprinkle with a little black pepper and seasoned salt, place in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.

Don't try to turn the chops over during the baking or you will lose some of your coating.  If you use the baking spray and the non-stick foil they should just slide right up when you get ready to serve.
