My local grocery store had a great sale on pork chops a few weeks ago, so I stocked! We love my crock pot ranch pork chops, but I have also been experimenting with different pork chop recipes just to switch things up a little. This one is a adapted from a recipe I found at Allrecipes. I don’t like to use a lot of oil in my cooking, so I love that the pork chops are just browned first, then baked.
My whole family loved these pork chops! I used Ritz crackers, but I think they would be just as awesome with saltine crackers. I recommend lining your baking dish with foil for easy clean up. Who wants to spend time washing dishes? Not me, that’s for sure!
Baked Pork Chops
Baked Pork Chops
Ingredients
- 3 boneless pork chops
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp milk
- ½ cup finely crushed Ritz crackers
- 3 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- ½ tsp garlic salt
- ⅛ tsp pepper
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Rinse pork chops and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
- Whisk together egg and milk in a shallow container. Combine cracker crumbs, cheese, salt, and pepper in another shallow container.
- Dip pork chops into egg mixture, then crumbs.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet on medium high heat. Brown each side of the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes, then place in a baking dish.
- Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 145°.
- For extra crispy pork chops, broil them for about 2 minutes on each side. Don't over-bake or they will be dry.

Do you need to brown them after you coat them before baking or can you just put them right in the oven and bake for a little longer period of time?
It’s best to brown them in the oil, because it adds moisture and a nice crust to the coating. If you want to skip the step, I would spray the breaded pork chops with cooking spray before you bake them.

Would I use a rack to sit the pork chops on while over a baking sheet to Make sure it’s cooked evenly and prevents bottom from getting mushy right? I just want to make sure before so I don’t ruin them lol thanks so much!
You definitely could place them on a rack, then you might be able to skip the broiling step. 🙂

We are making these as we speak. Started out by slapping our forehead because we didn’t get the breadcrumbs, but once I seen this, I got it all together and they are browning up now.
