This past week we got in on an excellent B1G1 pork chops deal at Publix and this recipe will turn that deal into a tasty but frugal dinner full of nutrients that your family will love!! This is a quick recipe using basic items that have been included in recent sales! My friend Jody is an excellent cook and submitted this recipe as the Thrifty Thursday Frugal Dinner Idea! Thanks Jody!
Jody’s Delicious Italian Pork Chops with roasted Parmesan Broccoli
6-8 Thin Center Cut Boneless Chops
¾ c Italian Bread Crumbs
¾ c Grated Parmesan Cheese
½ c All Purpose Flour
2 eggs beaten with 2 Tbsp. water
Olive Oil
Salt, Pepper, Garlic Salt to taste
Mix the Bread Crumbs, Parmesan Cheese, and seasonings into a shallow dish. Pour flour into another shallow dish. Begin by sprinkling your pork chop with a bit of kosher salt. Dip your Pork chops first in flour, egg wash, and then bread crumbs. Repeat in order if you like a thick breading. In a nonstick pan just over medium heat pour enough olive oil to just cover your pan. Fry pork chops 3-5 min on each side till golden brown.
Roasted Parmesan Broccoli
Large Head Broccoli
(or frozen and thawed as a quick alternative)
½ c parmesan cheese
1 ½ tsp. garlic salt
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 425
Chop broccoli into small bite size pieces, drizzle with olive oil, and toss with remaining ingredients. Spread the broccoli out onto a cookie sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges begin to brown.
Pan Fried Potato’s
6-8 Medium Red Potato’s , Cubed into bit sized pieces
2 Tbls Butter
Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Salt to taste
Boil potato’s till they begin to become soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from water, drain. Melt butter in nonstick pan over med/med-high heat. Add potato’s and seasonings. Allow to brown for 3-5 minutes before turning.
ENJOY!!
