Panko Pork Chops Dinner Idea (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 bone-in pork chops
02 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
05 - 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning or oregano
06 - 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
07 - 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, divided
08 - 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Coat each pork chop with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, followed by a squeeze of lemon juice. Spread a layer of Dijon mustard on top of each chop.
03 - Place panko breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. Toss each pork chop in the breadcrumbs to coat evenly and place them on the prepared tray.
04 - Drizzle extra virgin olive oil on top of each breaded pork chop.
05 - Bake for 20 minutes or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, choose pork chops at least 1 inch thick to prevent drying out. Allow the meat to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking if possible.
