A crumb coating is all you need to turn pork chops into a wow-worthy family dinner. Try the breading on chicken breasts, too. —Chris Rentmeister, Ripon, Wisconsin

Ingredients

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
6 boneless pork loin chops (8 ounces each and 3/4 inch thick)
1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Dash pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. Spread mustard onto both sides of pork chops; place on a greased baking sheet. Mix bread crumbs with pepper; press onto top and sides of chops.
Bake until lightly browned and a thermometer reads 145°, 20-25 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

These sound really good, I have made a recipe using chicken breast similar to this recipe. I am going to try these in my Air Fryer, will probably crisp up nicely. I will let you all know how they turn out.

A nice recipe, with good flavor, but even using panko, the crumbs don't really crisp up. I added a dash of ghost pepper powder, because I knew we'd like that! I should have pulled them out a minute sooner. An internal temperature of 135F would have come out perfect once they were rested. 140F was still juicy but with no hint of pink.

We really liked this but the bread crumbs didn't get crispy. I will keep this recipe and make again.

These chops were 'ok', nothing special to my husband and me. I always follow a recipe exactly the first time I try one. However, we decided there were other 'baked pork chop' recipes that would taste better than this one. It is quick and easy to prepare (I did not make the extra effort to 'coat' the sides of the chops). They were not done in the 20-25 minutes, so had to cook them longer.

Good flavor but outside was too soggy.

Since family loves dijon, I knew this would be a winner. I have used chicken tenders instead of pork chops. Works great. Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner. :-)

We thought this was really delicious, though my husband and I agreed we wish the coating was a little thicker or crustier. The only change we made to the recipe was to use yellow mustard instead of Dijon, but the flavor was still excellent!

pork chops are tender and moist. Took longer to cook then recipe says to ensure pork is done and breading dries up. have made this a few times for something different.
