OVEN-BAKED AND BREADED PORK CHOPS

If you're in the mood for some chops, but don't want to fuss with frying them - this recipe is for you!  These come out so tender and flavorful.  An added bonus is that they are incredibly easy to make.  Here are the ingredients you will need to make 4 servings:

4 pork chops, bone in, about 1/2 inch thick
salt and pepper
1/3 cup mayonnaise (estimate depends on the chop size)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (use flavored or not and this is also an estimate depending on size)
oregano and garlic salt, to taste

Rinse and pat dry each bone-in pork chop then season generously with salt and pepper.


Using the back of a spoon spread mayonnaise on each side of each chop. 
Use less mayo if the chops are smaller or if watching fat content. 
You just need enough for the breadcrumbs to adhere.
(Throw out any unused mayo because it will now be contaminated from the raw pork.)


Thoroughly coat in breadcrumbs on all sides.  Sprinkle with oregano and garlic salt. 
Place on baking sheet and bake at 325*F for about 1 hour.


I served ours with steamed broccoli, sweet beets, and little baked red potatoes seasoned with olive oil, garlic, and parsely.
