This is my modern take on the old “shake and bake” although we don’t actually shake our chops – they wouldn’t get nearly enough of the delicious seasoned coating on them if we did.  Instead, I place each chop in a pie dish that’s been filled with the seasoned panko, turn it once, and after I place it on the pan I heap more bread crumbs over it  – just for good measure.

Ingredients
  

  • 8 pork chops
  • 2-3 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons pepper

Seasoned Breading:

  • 4 cups Panko One entire 8 oz box.
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons dried sage
  • 1 tablespoon dried, chopped rosemary
  • 2-3 teaspoons salt

Instructions

  • Pre-season each chop with salt and pepper.  
  • In a pie pan or other shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the onion powder, sage, rosemary and salt. 
  • Place each chop in the pie pan full of panko mix and turn over so each side is covered.  
  • Place on a parchment-lined baking dish and then top each chop with an additional mound of bread crumbs. Spray each chop with olive oil.  This will ensure that crumbs brown nicely.
