Buttermilk Soaked Baked Parmesan Pork Chops
Buttermilk Soaked Baked Parmesan Pork Chops
Ingredients
Pork Chops
- 4 thin-sliced, boneless center cut pork chops
Buttermilk Soak
- 2 cups low-fat buttermilk
Panko Coating
- 2 cups panko bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup flour (I used whole wheat pastry, any flour will do)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese + a little more for garnish
Cooking
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
Instructions
- 1
Tenderize and trim fat from pork chops if you'd like. It's not necessary but I do it.
- 2
Add pork chops to a baking dish and pour buttermilk over top. Soak for at least 2 ours, or over night.
- 3
Remove pork chops from fridge 30 minutes before you plan to make them.
30 min - 4
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- 5
In a bowl, combine panko, flour, salt, pepper and parmesan.
- 6
Heat an over-safe skillet on medium-high heat and add olive oil.
- 7
Grab a pork chop from the buttermilk, letting any excess milk run off. Dredge through panko mixture, coating completely. Lay down in skillet and repeat with remaining chops.
- 8
Brown pork chops for 3 minutes on each side only! You don't want them to toughen up.
6 min - 9
After six minutes, turn off heat and add chicken stock to pan. Sprinkle a little parmesan on pork chops and cover skillet.

Bake for 20 minutes.
