Pioneer Woman Baked Pork Chops Recipes

PAN-FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Rinse pork chops. (Yes, I rinse my pork chops. Please don't be hatin'.) Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops.
• Combine all dry ingredients. Dredge each side of the pork chops in the flour mixture, then set aside on a plate.
• Heat canola oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add butter. When butter is melted and butter/oil mixture is hot, cook 3 pork chops at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on the first side; 1 to 2 minutes on the other side. (Make sure no pink juices remain.) Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining pork chops. Delicious and simple! Serve with smashed new potatoes.

SHEET-PAN RANCH PORK AND VEGGIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 ̊. Whisk the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, ranch dressing mix, black pepper and salt in a large bowl until combined. Transfer 3 tablespoons to a small bowl and set aside for brushing.
• Add the squash, zucchini, bell peppers and red onion to the large bowl with the marinade and toss until coated.
• Spread out the vegetables in an even layer on a sheet pan. Bake until softened and golden brown in spots, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the pork chops on a second sheet pan and brush both sides with the reserved marinade. Sprinkle one side with the paprika. Toward the end of the vegetable roasting time, add the pork to the oven and cook until no longer pink in the middle, about 7 minutes. Sprinkle the pork and vegetables with the parsley.

RANCH PORK CHOP SHEET PAN SUPPER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, mix together the honey, Worcestershire, 2 tablespoons of the ranch dressing mix, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and 1 teaspoon of the pepper until combined.
• Brush the mixture over the chops on both sides and place in a row on one side of a sheet pan using tongs.
• In a medium mixing bowl, add the potatoes, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of the ranch dressing mix and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and toss to coat. Tip onto the middle of the sheet pan next to the pork chops. Bake for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the beans to a bowl along with the remaining olive oil, ranch mix and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and toss.
• When the 15 minutes is up, remove the sheet pan from the oven and flip the pork chops. Toss the potatoes and add the green beans to the empty space at the side of the baking sheet. Bake until the vegetables are just beginning to brown, about 7 minutes more. Garnish with the parsley leaves and serve.

SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons butter plus 2 tablespoons oil in each of 2 skillets over medium heat.
• Put the onion and pepper slices in one skillet and cook until browned and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the seasoned salt, lemon pepper, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper and 1/2 cup of the flour in a pie plate. Dredge the pork chops in the flour mixture.
• Fry the chops in batches in the other skillet until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
• To this skillet, add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and 3 tablespoons flour. Stir and cook until the roux gets some color on it, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the stock a bit at a time, working out all the lumps, then add the cream. Add the onions and peppers, coating them in the sauce.
• Serve with plenty of sauce and the caramelized onions/peppers and accompany with the Smashed Red Potatoes.
• Put the potatoes in a glass or microwavable bowl and microwave according to the manufacturer's instructions, 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully remove the bowl and smash the potatoes with a fork. Add the butter, salt and pepper, then smash again. Cover with a towel until ready to serve.

EASY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Mix together the flour, black pepper, seasoning salt and salt on a plate.
• Sprinkle the pork chops with a little salt and black pepper on both sides, then, one at a time, dredge in the flour mixture and set aside.
• Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, cook the pork chops in groups of 4, until golden on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes total. Keep the chops warm in the oven until they are all cooked, then serve.

BAKED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Combine the panko, oil, Parmesan, Italian seasoning and 3/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Put the pork chops in a large bowl and toss to coat with 1 tablespoon water. Place the pork chops in the bag and shake well to coat, pressing the breadcrumb mixture firmly into the meat.
• Place the pork chops on a wire rack set on a baking sheet and top evenly with any breadcrumbs remaining in the bag. Bake until the breadcrumbs are dark golden and the internal temperature of the chops registers 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer (avoid touching bone), 15 to 20 minutes.
• Serve immediately with lemon wedges if using.
