Easy Parmesan Pork Chops
These Easy Parmesan Pork Chops are a very quick and easy version of our Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops. Great for a busy weeknight when you are tired but still want a nice supper. And in sticking with that thought, for the carb I went with russet potatoes “baked” in the microwave. And, put together a Caprese Salad while the pork chops were in the skillet.
Today’s Tip
Use the microwave oven for more short cuts to a quick and easy meal. Like, I never do the baked potatoes in the oven any more. One night I even went to an extreme and did our chicken parmesan in the microwave start to finish. It turned out real good. Here are a few more microwave tricks.
Your very Easy Parmesan Pork Chops how to
Put a skillet on the stove at medium high. Sprinkle just enough olive oil to coat the bottom and then a pad of butter. Sprinkle the pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder and the grated parmesan cheese on both sides. When the butter has stopped foaming lay the pork chops in the skillet.
About three to five minutes a side depending on how thick the pork chops are. When they are firm to a poke or 145° on a meat thermometer works good.
You can use this combo of the garlic powder and grated parmesan cheese to jazz up lots of different meats and fish. Anything done quick in the skillet or on a pan in the oven will get real tasty. From fish fillets to chopped beef patties and anything in between.
That’s it! Serve up tonight’s quick and easy dinner and enjoy it. You deserve it!
