Parmesan Pork Chops

All recipes are meant to be changed when you find one that sounds interesting. Recipes should be altered for your family. This recipe is a simple recipe to make and so good it is unbelievable.

Pork Chops are the other white meat, healthier than red meat, and is a very versatile meat. Pork is possible to be used in many recipes that call for red meat.

This recipe calls for Parmesan Cheese. Now this can be altered slightly. You could include bread crumbs or panko bread crumbs. The Pork chops could also be placed in the Air Fryer and cooked.

Personally, I prefer to fry these Pork Chops in a combination of Olive Oil and butter together. I also used very little seasoning on the Pork Chops to bring out more of a natural flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions:

            Should I use bone in chops or boneless?

I prefer to use boneless pork chops in this dish. If you do use bone in pork chops, be sure to use a thermometer to ensure doneness in the meat. The bone in chops will give you juicier meat.

            What should I serve with these Parmesan Pork Chops?

The best side dish that I prefer is cauliflower Rice and a green side salad. You could also serve mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables or even roasted potatoes and vegetables.

            How do I store these pork chops?

If you are lucky to have some left after dinner, place them in an airtight ziploc bag, or in another airtight container and place into the refrigerator. They will last for 3 to 4 days.

            Can I freeze the pork chops that are left over?

Certainly, wrap them tightly and place them in a handy spot in the freezer for up to 3 months.
