My husband’s new obsession! Started cooking this lately and he’s asked for it 5 times now.

Nestled in the heartland where traditions run deep, there’s a beloved recipe that brings a hint of Italian flair to our sturdy Midwestern tables: Baked Italian Seasoned Breaded Pork Chops. This dish, with its crispy seasoned crust and tender juicy center, has been a favorite in my family for generations. Made with simple, hearty ingredients, it’s perfect for a Sunday dinner or any gathering where comfort food is called for. The Italian seasoning adds a little zest and a nod to the Old Country that early settlers brought to these parts, blending the new and old in every bite.

When it comes to serving these delightful chops, I like to keep things cozy and traditional. A side of buttered mashed potatoes and some steamed green beans or roasted Brussels sprouts make the perfect companions. For a little something extra, add a dollop of homemade apple sauce or a sprinkle of fresh parsley over the chops right before serving. And don’t forget a warm loaf of crusty bread to soak up all those delicious juices.
