There’s something about me and coated baked pork chops. My mom made them when I was a kid and I loved them then. I make them now and I still love them. Sometimes I use the stuff right out of the box, and sometimes I make my own. Like this Lemon Pepper Shake ‘n Bake. Same wonderful coating as the classic, but with a wonderful kiss of citrusy lemony yumminess and a little bit of pepper. Lemon and pork go great together.
More Coating. More Better.
I’m not shy with the coating when I use my lemon pepper Shake ‘n Bake mix. I really like that lightly crunchy bread crumb goodness. I get my chops coated all over. Sides too. Then I coat them one more time. I know, that’s probably a little excessive but I love it so!
Use a good lemon pepper seasoning. You want one that is perfectly balanced, no one flavor over-powering the other. That way you’ll end up with the best baked chops!
