I have to admit I am not a big fan of pork.  I do love pulled pork carnitas, and spicy Italian sausage, but I don’t go crazy for pork chops, loin of pork or any other pork to be honest.  However, once in a while I do crave a good juicy pork chop for some reason.  I remember my Mom using Shake and Bake to make hers, but I prefer to use panko breadcrumbs with a little bit of cornmeal mixed in.  It gives them a great base of coating and they taste so good.

I prefer to make these in the oven as I just think you can make them a bit healthier, without excess the excess oil of frying.  I make them on a sheet pan with some oil and butter and it makes for the perfectly moist and crispy pork chop.  Serve with my homemade cinnamon applesauce, and some mashies and you have the perfect comfort food dinner!

Sinfully,
