Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 410kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
- 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons flaky poultry seasoning or herbs de provence or 1/2 teaspoon ground poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil avocado, extra virgin olive oil, canola or vegetable oil
- 4 thick cut center loin pork chops bone-in or boneless
- Optional Garnish: fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and situate a wire rack on top. Grease the wire rack with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
- To a large resealable bag, add both breadcrumbs and all of the seasonings. Seal and shake until well combined.
- Working on a cutting board, pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides with your oil of choice. Working with one chop at a time, add to the bag of seasoning, shake until fully coated, then place on prepared wire rack. Discard the leftover coating.
- Bake 20-25 minutes. Check that the temperature has reached 143°F. If needed, add time in 3 minute increments.
- Remove from the oven and set the oven to broil. Spritz the tops of the pork chops with olive oil. Return the pan to the oven. Watching it carefully, broil for 1-2 minutes, or until they're brown and crispy. Ensure the internal temperature has reached 145°F.
- Rest 3 minutes before serving. If desired, garnish with fresh snipped parsley.
Notes
Storage:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. When reheating, they may not be as crisp as when you originally made them. We recommend reheating them in a 350ºF oven until warmed through or adding them into the air fryer to help re-crisp the coating.
We don't recommend freezing these shake and bake pork chops as it can compromise the texture of the outer breadcrumb coating.
Tips:
- Be sure to add the wire baking rack to the baking sheet. This allows the pork chops to be cooked from all sides to make sure that shake and bake coating gets golden brown and crispy.
- Broiling at the end is optional but highly recommended. You will want to watch your pork chops very closely at this point, so they don't burn! It should only take a minute or so for them to turn golden brown.
- You will know the pork chops are done when a meat thermometer registers 143ºF. This is the easiest way to know without slicing into the pork.
- Make sure you pat your pork chops very dry before shaking in the coating. This will help the coating to adhere better prior to baking.
