Ingredients you’ll need
Below you will find a quick list of the ingredients needed to make these crispy pork chops. To find the full list of ingredients with amounts, head to the recipe card.
- Boneless pork chops – I like to use 1″ thick pork chops for this recipe. If you want to use thick cut pork chops, increase the cook time by about 5 minutes.
- Bread crumbs – I personally like to use plain bread crumbs for this quick weeknight dinner. For a thicker crust for this breaded pork you can use panko breadcrumbs.
- Kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, smoked paprika – Add this delicious seasoning mixture to the bread crumbs to create your own homemade shake and bake mix. You can then use that mix on any kind of protein, not just pork chops! Add any extra spices or herbs to this mixture to enhance the flavor. I like to add dried oregano for an Italian taste.
- Olive oil or any vegetable oil – mix the breading mixture with oil to create a crispy coating and help the breading stick to the pork chops.
Ingredient substitutions
One of my favorite things about this shake and bake pork chops recipe is that it is very easy to make gluten-free. Just use a gluten free breadcrumb mixture in place of the standard bread crumbs. There are rice based bread crumbs that are very delicious.
If you are looking to spice up this shake n bake pork chops dish, you can add some cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper to the breadcrumb mix. Feel free to customize the spice mix to incorporate different tastes and flavors. Even adding some ranch seasoning would be delicious!
You can use this homemade shake and bake mixture for many types of proteins. Feel free to switch out the boneless pork chops for bone-in pork chops, but be sure to check the internal temperature because they may take a little longer to cook through. You may also swap out the pork for chicken breasts to make a classic shake and bake chicken recipe.
How to make Shake and Bake Pork Chops
Step 1: Stir seasonings and dried herbs into bread crumbs and pour the mixture into a large plastic bag.
Step 2: Mix olive oil in with the seasoned breadcrumbs in the large plastic bag.
Step 3: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Place the pork chops into the plastic bag with the seasoned bread crumbs and shake.
Step 4: Make sure the pork chops are well coated. Place directly on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 425F until cooked through.
Mad’s Expert Tips for the crispiest Shake N Bake Pork Chops
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool – to keep the cutlets crispy, transfer to a wire rack after cooking to cool slightly. When you do this, you prevent the bottom from getting soggy.
- Cook the pork chops on a greased metal baking sheet – do not line the baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. The direct contact with the metal baking sheet will give the pork chops the best crust.
- Make breaded pork cutlets in the air fryer – follow the instructions as written, coat the pork chops in the breading mixture and then place on a greased air fryer tray. Air fry at 350F for 13-15 minutes, flipping once halfway.
I also use a crispy, panko breadcrumb breading to make oven baked panko chicken cutlets.
Storage and reheating
Allow the shake & bake pork chops to cool completely and then transfer to an airtight container in the fridge. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat leftovers either in the oven or air fry until just warmed through. I find that using the air fryer basket to reheat the pork chops is the best way to have leftovers that are not soggy.
