Italian Breaded Pork Chops, a delicious Family Dinner Meal. Pork chops baked not fried in a yummy Parmesan  Breaded coating, makes this dish a healthy alternative. An Easy weeknight or weekend dinner idea.

3 breaded pork chops in a white pan

One thing we all agree on is we love Pork Chops. I first had these pork chops years ago when my sister-in-law made them. Although she fried them and I decided that I would prefer them baked.

OK maybe not prefer them baked,  because they certainly are yummy fried, but let’s face it baked is healthier. And one pan makes them so easy.

How to Make Italian Bread Pork Chops:

  • On a large plate mix together the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt and freshly chopped parsley.
  • Coat the pork chops very well with the crumb mixture one at a time,
  • Place the chops on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, lightly drizzle the paper with a little olive oil.
  • Sprinkle the chops with a little salt and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Bake in a pre-heated oven for approximately 30 minutes, halfway through baking turn the chops over sprinkle with a little salt, (in the last 5 minutes I raised the temperature to 390°/200°), for extra browning.
  • Let the chops sit 3-5 minutes before serving.

How long to them for:

Depending on the thickness of the chop be sure to bake them for about 30 minutes at 375F (190C).

If you aren’t sure if the Baked Pork Chops are cooked thoroughly then you can measure the internal temperature of the meat. Make sure that it has reached 145F (62C).

Also let the Pork Chop rest for 3-4 minutes before serving.

What are the best type of Pork Chops for baking?

You can use either boneless or bone in Pork Chops. Personally a thick cut 1 to 1  1/2 inch chop is the best for baking and thinner and you will have a dry breaded chop. Not too delicious.

How to Store them

Any leftover pork chops should be stored in an air tight container in the fridge for up to three days. Or they can be frozen for up to three months.

What to serve with these Baked Breaded Pork Chops:

  • Italian Oven Roasted Rosemary Potatoes
  • Italian Roasted Vegetables
  • Simple Italian Green Bean Toss

Bread Crumbs tossed with freshly grated parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley take these Breaded Pork Chops to another level. So Good.

They come out crunchy on the outside and nice and moist on the inside. Amazingly delicious! Try them, trust me, you won’t regret it. Buon Appetito!

        I’ve made theses chops three times now, each time a delicious success. My husband has not been
        Interested in pork chops ( his mother’s were alway dry and tough) but he loves having these Italian baked pork chops. They are tasty, moist and tender. I serve them with scalloped potatoes and crispy green beans.

        Hello. Made these tonight but I baked them in my Air Fryer. 375 for 10 minutes, turned and did another 8 minutes. Wow – so moist and very tender. I have used the original Shake and Bake version – years ago – and prefer the homemade version because of the MSG in the store bought package. But this recipe is fantastic. I will be putting it in my bi-weekly rotation. Thank you so much for sharing.

          Hi Patricia, I don’t think they are rib chops, but they are thick cut chops (bone in). Hope that helps.

        Trying the recipe now I didn’t add the parmesan cheese because I didn’t have it. Do you think it’ll still taste good?

            Tryed them that way before,but found dipping them in a beaten egg with salt and pepper, then the bread crumbs makes them taste even better……….. Also wanted to ask if you have a recipe for fulitella?

          • Rosemary says

            September 3, 2017 at 8:14 pm

            Hi Joan, good idea, although I’m not too crazy about the taste of food dipped in egg and then baked fried ok. I’m sorry Joan I have never heard of fulitella, it must be dialect, what exactly is it and where is it from? 🙂

        Thanks for this recipe. I wrote a post on my blog this morning about how to use pork chops that you buy at Costco and I included a link to your recipe. Have you ever tried brining your pork before breading them?
