Oven Baked Pork Chops

This simple & easy recipe for oven baked breaded pork chops is perfect for any busy weeknight dinner.

This 4 ingredient oven baked pork chops recipe uses commonly stocked pantry items and just a few additional seasonings. 

Clean up is a cinch since your basically seasoning the pork chops inside a Ziploc bag. 

To make it even easier, I’ll link my favorite sheet pan at the end of the post, that comes with a baking rack.

Cover the bottom of the baking rack with foil, then spray the baking rack with non stick cooking spray before you place the pork chops on it.

When serving, I use tongs to remove the pork chops from the rack, nothing sticks to it (it easily comes off) and then toss the aluminum foil into your recycling bin (if your local area accepts it) and the dishes used to create this dish are a cinch to clean up in just a few minutes.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.

In a large zip-top bag, combine the bread crumbs, Panko, vegetable oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Stir until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.

Wet each pork chop, then place it in the bag.

Shake to coat both sides of the chop.

Place the coated pork chops on the wire rack.

Sprinkle remaining breadcrumb mixture over the top of the pork chops.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the pork chops are cooked through.

How to Bake Pork Chops in the oven:

For food safety, it’s important to cook pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, tested using a food thermometer.

The length of time it takes to reach this temperature depends on if the pork chops are bone in or boneless, and on how thick your pork chops are.

ALWAYS check the temperature a few minutes early, oven temperatures can vary according to many factors, and you don’t want to over cook them.

Bone In Pork Chops help them retain moisture and flavor.

Pork chops should be baked uncovered in the oven.

A hotter bake will help prevent pork chops from drying out in the oven.

However, I’ll share several times and temperatures because there are times you need to bake side dishes with your protein, and it’s helpful information.
