How To Avoid Tough Pork Chops
If you’ve been disappointed by dry and tough pork chops in the past, consider using bone-in pork chops, which this recipe calls for. Chances are, you’ve been using boneless pork chops that are thinly cut. Instead, choose bone-in pork chops. Bone-in chops will always be juicier. Also, choose chops that are a least an inch thick as this will help retain the moisture and result in a tender and juicy pork chop.
Can I Use Other Vegetables?
Sure! Feel free to try what you know that your family likes. Just be aware that the cooking time for them may vary. For example, green beans or broccoli will cook more quickly, so you may want to add them halfway through the cooking time. The key here is that the pork chops are completely cooked, so choose your veggies and their time in the oven accordingly.
How Do I Know When The Pork Chops Are Done?
The USDA recommends cooking chops, roasts, loins, and tenderloin to an internal temperature of 145° F, followed by a three-minute rest. You can always use a digital thermometer to test the temperature if you are unsure.
How Do I Get The Outside Of The Pork Chops Crispy?
Make sure that you are following the directions to season, dredge and coat the pork chops in the wet egg mixture and then the panko and cheese mixture. This helps keep the moisture in the chops for a juicy texture while allowing the outside to crisp up while baking. It’s also important that you flip each chop halfway through to ensure both sides get exposed to the heated air of the oven for maximum crispness.
Ingredients Needed To Make This Recipe

How To Make This Sheet Pan Crispy Cheddar Pork Chops Meal
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spritz with nonstick cooking spray.
Salt and pepper the pork chops on each side.
In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs and milk.
In a separate dish, stir together the panko, cheese, and garlic powder.
Dip the pork chops in the egg mixture on both sides. Allow excess to drip back into the dish.
Transfer the pork chops to the panko mixture, pressing into the pork on both sides.
Place pork chops in the center of the baking sheet.
Combine Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat and season with salt and pepper as desired. Arrange the vegetables around the pork chops.
Bake for 30 minutes, flipping the pork chops halfway, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees. If the top of the pork chops is not crispy, turn on the broiler and watch carefully until the panko has browned.
Allow pork chops to rest on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes prior to serving to allow the juices to redistribute through the pork. Serve the pork chops with vegetables.
