Crispy Baked Pork Chops

Serves: 4 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes

These aren't your average pork chops. By combining the savory, umami punch of Pork Ramen Seasoning with the classic herbs of our Italian Seasoning, you get a crispy, golden crust that seals in all the juices.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup Gluten-Free breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup Gluten-Free Panko
• 1 tablespoon Clean Monday Meals Pork Ramen Seasoning
• 1 tablespoon Clean Monday Meals Italian Seasoning
• Olive oil (for spritzing)
• Note: Mixing regular breadcrumbs and Panko provides the ultimate crispy texture. However, you can use 1 full cup of either one if that is what you have on hand!
  

Instructions: 

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Set up two shallow bowls. In the first, add the beaten egg. In the second, combine the breadcrumbs, Panko, Pork Ramen Seasoning, and Italian Seasoning. Mix well.
3. Dip each pork chop into the egg wash, coating both sides.
4. Press the pork chop firmly into the crumb mixture, ensuring even coverage on the top, bottom, and sides.
5. Place the breaded chops into the prepared baking dish.
6. Lightly spritz the tops of the chops with olive oil. This helps the coating brown and crisp up perfectly.
7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
8. Let the chops rest for 3–5 minutes before serving to ensure they stay juicy.
