Grilled Breaded Pork Chops
Juicy bone-in pork chops coated in a crispy Parmesan bread crumb crust and grilled to golden brown perfection. This recipe combines the classic flavors of Italian-style breading with outdoor grilling for a delicious main dish.
Ingredients
- •4 cups fine fresh bread crumbs (from 10 slices firm white sandwich bread)
- •¾ oz finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (2/3 cup)
- •½ teaspoon salt
- •¼ teaspoon black pepper
- •8 pieces bone-in center-cut pork chops
- •1 cup olive oil
Cooking Instructions
- 1.
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Spread bread crumbs in a shallow baking pan and toast in oven, stirring once or twice, until dry but not golden, 7 to 10 minutes. Cool bread crumbs completely, then stir together with cheese, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl or a 9-inch pie plate. Lightly season chops with additional salt and pepper.

Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Put oil in another shallow bowl or 9-inch pie plate. Dip each chop in oil, letting excess drip off, then dredge both sides of chop in bread-crumb mixture, pressing gently to help crumbs adhere, and transfer to baking sheet.
