Breaded Ranch Pork Chops

A quick improvised recipe for a weeknight dinner. Feel free to leave out the ranch dressing packet and add your own spices. I'd recommend onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika, celery seed, dried parsley and dried dill - about a teaspoon each of the spices and a dash of salt and pepper to taste.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 3

Ingredients

• 3  pork chops, 3/4 inch thick (with the bone)

Directions

1. In a medium sized bowl, place the flour.
2. In a second bowl, mix egg, milk and mayonnaise until well blended.
3. In a third bowl, mix breadcrumbs and salad dressing mix (or spices of your choice).
4. Dip the pork chops, individually, in the flour and shake off the excess.
5. After flouring, dip in egg mixture and immediately dredge in breadcrumbs until the pork chop is well-coated; set aside.
6. When all three pork chops are breaded, melt 1 tbsp butter in the bottom of a small baking dish in the microwave.

11. Place second tbsp of butter and oil in the dish and allow to melt.
12. Place pork chops back into the dish, turning them over as you do so.
