Tips and Tricks

Dry the Pork Chops

For a crispy coating, be sure the pork chops are dry before flouring.

Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to allow heat to circulate while baking to get the bottoms crispy too.

Flip the pork chops halfway through cooking.

Ingredient Substitutions


Gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs can be used for a gluten-free version.

Almond milk or another non-dairy milk can replace skim milk if needed.

Any mustard type can be used, but adjust the amount to taste if using a stronger variety like whole grain or spicy mustard.

Serving Suggestions


Serve with a side of steamed vegetables like broccoli or green beans.

A light salad dressed with vinaigrette to add freshness and acidity.

Lemon wedges on the side enhance the flavors with a splash of citrus when squeezed over the chops.

How to Store Leftovers and Reheat


Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F until heated through to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the coating soggy.
