Italian breaded pork chops with ranch dressing feature simple chops marinaded in ranch dressing and breaded with Italian bread crumbs. They bake to crispy perfection for a tasty family supper.

I try to stock up on meat when it goes on sale and pork chops are a meat that goes on sale often.

So I know I’ve always got something in the freezer for a quick dinner- even on nights when I have forgotten to plan something.

I love that they are quick to defrost and star so beautifully in so many quick and easy recipes.

And these Italian breaded pork chops with ranch dressing are like so many other pork chop recipes in their ease.

But they outshine basic baked pork chops in their flavor since they use a thick coat of ranch dressing instead of egg to hold the bread crumbs on.

The result?

Well my boys have dubbed them “the best ever” pork chops in our house.

It’s hard to argue with that!

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

Ranch dressing– I recommend using this homemade ranch dressing since it’s thicker, but if you want to use store bought you can. Just use the kind that’s sold in the refrigerated section of the produce department rather than the kind from the dressing aisle.
Italian bread crumbs– Make sure they are dry. You can sub regular bread crumbs but add a hefty amount of Italian seasonings.
Italian dressing mix– .6 ounce of dry dressing mix
Parmesan cheese– Adds so much flavor! Don’t skip it!
Garlic powder– A full tablespoon though you can adjust this to your liking
Pork chops– Any cut of chop you like

How to Make

These breaded pork chops with ranch dressing are easy to make.

Start by setting up your dredging station with a shallow bowl of ranch dressing.

Next mix the bread crumbs, Italian dressing mix, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder together in a separate shallow bowl or dish.

One at a time, dip a pork chop in the ranch dressing, turning to evenly coating both sides.

Next, put the pork chop dipped in ranch into the bread crumb mixture, coating well on both sides.

Place coated chops onto the sheet pan lined with aluminum foil and sprayed with nonstick spray.

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, or until the insides are no longer pink.

Serve and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

These breaded pork chops with ranch pair well with so many things!

Serve them with your favorite steamed or roasted veggie.

And even better!

Play up the ranch flavor by pairing it with ranch glazed carrots or ranch potatoes!

Storing Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days after cooking.

Reheat in a hot oven until warmed through.

Tips and Tricks

Homemade ranch is best because it’s nice and thick. The bottled kind you find in the salad dressing aisle is much thinner. Whatever kind you use make sure it’s full fat to help keep the chops moist.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure your pork chops are done. They are done when the thermometer reads 145 in the thickest part of the pork chop.
The cook time will vary somewhat based on the thickness of the chops. 45 minutes is for a medium thickness. You’ll need less time for a thinner chop and more for a thick cut pork chop.
