Notes
Pro tip: For the juiciest chops, the most important tip that I can give you is to brine the chops. Just soak the meat in salt water for at least an hour. This traps the moisture in the meat. Rinse the salt water off and pat dry when finished brining. You’ll be left with tenderized, juicy chops.
Add one hour to prep time for pork chops to brine in the refrigerator.
Can I use regular gluten free bread crumbs instead of gluten-free panko bread crumbs? Yes, you can substitute regular gluten free bread crumbs if you don't have gluten-free panko bread crumbs available. However, please note that the texture will vary.
Can I use a different type of meat instead of pork chops? Absolutely! While the recipe calls for pork chops, you can experiment with other meats such as chicken breast or even fish fillets. Adjust the cooking time accordingly to ensure they are fully cooked.
Is it necessary to use grated Parmesan cheese? Grated Parmesan cheese adds a distinct flavor and texture to the dish, but you can certainly substitute it with gluten free all purpose flour.
How do I know if the pork chops are cooked through? The best way to ensure the pork chops are cooked through is by using a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chop, and it should register 145°F (63°C) for perfectly cooked pork. Remember to allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving.
How do I store leftover pork chops? USDA recommends using cooked leftover pork within three to four days. Cover in an airtight container and keep in your fridge.
