Busy-Day Pork Chops

  I had some pork chops and was looking for a different, quick way to make them.  Here it is…very simple but tasty.  We were surprised that they were so tender; but the coating keeps in the juices and keeps the chops from being too dry.  My chops were about 5 ounces, so I cooked them 22 minutes all together.  Serve with a vegetable and a salad, with fruit for dessert, and you have a fast, fuss-free meal.                 

Busy-Day Pork Chops  

  4           tablespoons  milk

  4           tablespoons  seasoned bread crumbs

  4           tablespoons  grated Parmesan cheese

     1/4    teaspoon  salt

     1/4    teaspoon  garlic powder

     1/8    teaspoon  pepper

  4           boneless pork loin chops (4 ounces each)

               Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 375°. Place milk in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl (or paper plate), toss crumbs with cheese and seasonings.

Dip pork chops in milk, then coat with crumb mixture. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; lightly spritz chops with cooking spray.

Bake 8-10 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Yield: 4 servings.
