Baked French Fried Onions Pork Chops
[FROM THE 2010 ARCHIVES] I got this idea from a TV Commercial where a Mom breaded boneless chicken breasts with French fried onions then baked them in the oven and dinner was ready in no time. Hubs and I agreed that the chicken looked really good. I’ve planned on trying it for a while now but didn’t have enough French Friend onions until a few days ago. Instead of boneless chicken breasts, I decided to use pork chops. I love pork so I’m always looking for recipes that uses pork meat. And this definitely works with pork.
You can also fry these up if you want but for a healthier version, baking the breaded chops in the oven is good.
Baked French Fried Onions Pork Chops
Ingredients
- 2 cups French Fried Onions
- 4 pcs pork chops (tenderize with meat mallett)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- seasoning of salt, black pepper & garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Pound the chops with meat tenderizer/mallett.
- Put the French fried onions on a large ziploc/freezer bag. Make sure to let the air out then close. Use a rolling pin to crush the fried onions in coarse/crumbly consistency.
- Beat the egg and milk together. Season with salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Coat the pork chops with the egg mixture. Drench both sides of the chops with the French fried onions.
- Cover a sheet pan with foil for easy clean up. Place the pork chops onto the pan, then bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes.
And there you go. How easy was that? Crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside. Try it with boneless chicken breasts too. Serve with steamed veggies and Lipton pasta sides or brown rice.
