Have you ever had one of those nights where you just didn't want to make what was on your meal plan? Better yet, have you ever had a night where you just didn't feel like cooking at all?
OF COURSE YOU HAVE! I most certainly have. In fact, tonight was one such night, but we had to eat, so I scratched what I had on my menu and decided to just throw something together. You will never guess what happened. CULINARY MAGIC, THAT IS WHAT! By using some basic technique, and a mish-mash of ingredients, I came up with the most delicious OVEN FRIED RANCH PORK CHOPS! These may very well be the BEST pork chops I have had to date!
Oven Fried Ranch Pork Chops:
*Prep Time: 20 min. *Cook Time: 20 min. *Difficulty: Easy *Servings: 4 chops
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless loin chops
- 1 c. ranch dressing
- 1 c. of bread crumbs
- 1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp. of butter
- 1 tbsp. All Purpose Seasoning
To prepare your chops, place them in a Ziploc bag and sprinkle with
Next, add the ranch dressing.
Press all of the air out of the bag, zip it up, and "schooze" (yes, that is a highly technical term)
it around until all of your chops are well coated.
Place in the fridge to marinate for 20 minutes.
While the pork chops are marinating, Pre heat your oven to 450 degrees.
As the oven is heating, place your baking dish in the oven to heat along with it.
Now it is time to mix your breading.
In a shallow dish combine the parmesan cheese and bread crumbs.
After 20 min., remove the chops from the Ziploc bag and place in breading.
Turn, and make sure they are thoroughly coated on all sides.
Now remove the HOT dish from the oven and add the butter.
Allow the butter to melt.
Place the pork chops in the dish, and put them in the oven.
Bake for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, remove from the oven and flip.
Place back in the oven for 20 more minutes.
Look at how stunning these Oven Fried Ranch Pork Chops look! I served these with my Roasted Carrots and Potatoes because I can cook them in the oven simultaneously! These Oven Fried Ranch Pork Chops are simple and use things you most likely have on hand. I know you are going to love them and your family will be singing your praises so get in the kitchen and give them a try TONIGHT!
And as always,
Happy Reading, Happy Eating, and Happy Living,

Lovely recipe. Sadly my Thai green curry paste wasn’t as hot as I wanted it, but it was tasty. Will definitely make again .
