Growing up we ate pork chops all the time. We weren’t a Shake ‘n Bake house, we used Oven Fry Extra Crispy. I still love a good and crispy baked pork chop but unfortunately Oven Fry is nowhere to be found in Calgary. Instead, I decided to figure out a recipe all by myself. This one is pretty good. It doesn’t taste exactly the same but I love it. Plus Evan and Dewey both gave it two thumbs up. In fact, Evan had me microwave the one leftover pork chop for him as a bedtime snack. He ate the whole thing and he is little vegetarian. So I’ve decided that this baked breaded pork chops recipe is a WINNER.
These are perfect to make on a weeknight for dinner when you are pressed for time. Add a salad and a carb side and you are done. Even your pickiest eater will love them (and so will you because they are easy and fast). Plus you will know that even though they are breaded, they aren’t fried so they’re healthier.
Crunchy Parmesan Ranch Baked Breaded Pork Chops
Ingredients
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 3 Tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp seasoned salt
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 4 pork chops, either bone-in or boneless will work
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix panko, parmesan cheese and salt in a shallow bowl. Pour ranch dressing in another shallow bowl.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dip each pork chop in ranch dressing and then dredge in panko mixture.
Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20 – 40 minutes depending on the thickness of your pork chops and whether they are bone-in or not. If the meat is done but they are not crispy enough, broil briefly (watch carefully though as they can burn quickly).

Jane Ritchuk says
How can you get 5 servings out of 4 chops? Someone has to go without, or everyone loses a corner of their chop.

Hello, You have shredded Parm cheese Is this store bought or Shred it yourself? Ty
Merry Kuchle says
I usually shred my own but either works. Just not the parmesan in the green can that is super dry.
