Juicy pork chops with a crispy coating that takes you right back to mom's dinner table. Thanks to panko bread crumbs, classic seasonings, and buttermilk, this homemade shake and bake recipe is a quick weeknight dinner (under 30 minutes) that'll satisfy the whole family.
Ingredients
- 6 pork chops, bone-in or boneless, 1 inch thick or more.
- 1 cup buttermilk marinade
- 3 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp celery seeds
- ½ tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
- vegetable oil
Instructions
- Marinate the pork chops in a cup of buttermilk overnight or for at least 2 hours. Rinse and pat dry. Let pork chops sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425º. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- Lightly run vegetable oil on pork chops.
- In a ziplock bag, add the seasonings and bread crumbs and shake to combine. Add one pork chop at a time, seal, and shake until coated evenly on every side. Place pork chops on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes, turn and check the temperature. Return to the oven and bake an additional 8 to 10 minutes until a meat thermometer reads 135º in the thickest portion. Remove to a plate and let rest for 5-10 minutes tented with foil.
Barbara's Notes + Tips
- Seasoned bread crumbs are key. Feel free to add other favorite spices or play with the ratios to ensure as much flavor as possible. All good recipes season to taste!
- Make sure the pork is in a single layer on the sheet pan. Use two if you need to! Giving each piece of meat enough space means that everything will get evenly heated and all sides are crispy, not steamed.
