Crispy Cajun Pork Chops
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 6 (1-inch thick) bone-in pork chops, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise, or as needed
  • 1 pinch Cajun seasoning, or to taste
  • 1 (8 ounce) package panko bread crumbs
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to a medium-high temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius. Next, lightly coat the interior surface of a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent food from sticking.
2
Now, take the pork chops and gently remove any dirt or impurities by rinsing them under cold water. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3
Mix together a bowl of mayonnaise and Cajun seasoning until you achieve a smooth consistency.
4
On a large, flat surface, spread out the bread crumbs in an even layer.
5
Then, using your hands or a spoon, apply the mayonnaise-Cajun seasoning mixture evenly to both sides of the pork chops.
6
Gently place the breaded pork chops onto a plate or tray, and then press them firmly into the bread crumbs to ensure an even coating. Shake off any excess crumbs that fall off during this process.
7
Arrange the breaded pork chops in a single layer within the prepared baking dish.
8
Then, place the pork chops in the preheated oven and bake until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit or 63 degrees Celsius, which is slightly pink in the center. This should take approximately 35 minutes.
9
Once cooked, use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. If it reads at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit or 63 degrees Celsius, remove them from the oven.
10
Finally, loosely cover the pork chops with aluminum foil and let them rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
