Instructions
-
Prepare the Breaded Coating: In a shallow bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. Set aside.
-
Coat the Pork Chops: In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Dip each pork chop into the egg, making sure to coat it fully. Then, coat the pork chops in the Parmesan-bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure a good coverage.
-
Cook the Pork Chops: Lightly spray a 12-inch nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops and cook for about 5 minutes, turning once, until both sides are golden brown and the pork is mostly cooked through.
-
Add the Sauce: Add the diced tomatoes with basil, oregano, and garlic, tomato sauce, and diced green bell pepper to the skillet. Stir gently to combine.
-
Simmer: Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is slightly pink in the center and fully cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Remove the pork chops from the skillet and plate them. Spoon some of the sauce and vegetables over the pork chops. Serve hot, and enjoy your delicious Parmesan Breaded Pork Chops!
Recipe Tips:
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce mixture for an extra kick.
- For a crispier breading, broil the pork chops for a minute or two after theyβre cooked to achieve the perfect golden finish.
- You can serve these pork chops with mashed potatoes, a side salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
This easy and flavorful Parmesan Breaded Pork Chops recipe is a fantastic way to make a hearty, satisfying dinner in just 30 minutes.
