Let’s be honest, sometimes you need a meal and you have no time for nonsense even if you are in Week #3 of a Fit & Fab Fall Challenge. I’m not gonna lie, knowing how to make Parmesan pork chops could be a lifesaver since this week has been a little tough as Superman brought some funky germs home from work and Princess caught whatever he had. I even felt pretty puny myself for a couple days but our symptoms were minimal due to our home remedies and supplements.
Nonetheless, I have kept meals very simple and quick this week so I could take care of the sick and get extra rest myself. When Superman stopped at the store to fill a request for the sick one, he randomly picked up a pack of pork chops, saying they were on sale and he kinda wanted some. 😉 I rarely buy pork so I didn’t mind at all.
I wanted a clean eating recipe that was different and light. As you probably know, you must be careful with pork chops or they can turn dry and overcooked quickly. I was in the mood for yumminess that remained healthy.
Then it hit me… Parmesan and Garlic. Mmmmmm
Super-quick, light, and super-easy. My kind of meal.
We have a winner folks and a new favorite around here.
- Bone-in Pork Chops
- 1 Cup Parmesan Cheese
- 3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder
- 2 teaspoons pepper
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Melt one Tablespoon EVOO in skillet on medium-high heat. Place pork chops in skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side to quickly brown {sear} and remove from heat. Set aside to cool.
- While pork chops are cooling, place Parmesan, Garlic powder, and pepper in a plate and mix.
- Drizzle remaining 2 Tablespoons of EVOO on pork chops to coat both sides and then dredge through the parmesan/seasonings. Place in casserole dish and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and test thickest pork chop to see if they are done. Enjoy!
I roasted some broccoli, pulled out some pre-cooked whole grain rice and called it a meal. I love it all comes together so easily, it makes me love my life even more.
