Recipe: Oven Fried Pork Chops

I’m always on the lookout for a quick and easy weeknight dinner… we simply don’t have the time to make elaborate meals during the week… and Warren does complain when I make chicken or pasta too much….so I try to make some really simple meals that are quick to make and tasty too.

I keep Savory Herbs Stuffing from Stove Top on hand… it’s the base for my Crab Stuffed Mushroom recipe… which only uses part of the box… I simply seal it up and put it in a Ziploc bag so I also use it for other things… put it in the mini chopper and chop away… and you have a terrific tasting breading for pork chops.

TIPS

The recipe calls for one cup of Savory Herbs Stuffing mix crushed or ground…. That’s one cup after it’s crushed or ground….




I highly recommend you put it in the mini chopper to get it to the consistency of bread crumbs… if the pieces are too large they don’t adhere well to the meat.





Process about a ½ cup at a time… otherwise you end up with big pieces on top and dust on the bottom of the processor.



I don’t have salt on the ingredient list because the stuffing has enough salt in it.

If you need to make more chops… say 6-8….you probably can get away with using the same amount of egg, milk and flour… you will need more bread crumbs though… it was just enough for me and I made 5 chops.

Bake boneless thin chops for 20 minutes and thick ones for about 30 minutes.

This is very easy!
