Entree -- QUICK Baked Dinner (Pork Chops or Chicken Breasts)SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under Misc. Recipes & RequestsINSTRUCTIONS
This is one of my standard "don't feel like cooking" dinners. As fast as is possible with at little work as possible.This also has the advantage of having lots of options, flexibility and of tasting delicious. MUCH better than any commercial 'fixing'.
Maybe this is too simple to post -- but I've found that you can't assume "everyone knows to do this". Maybe someone will find this a lifesaver some day!
Bone-in pork chops or chicken breasts (thick or thin, but bone-in always tastes better)
Dijon Mustard (or 'flavored' dijon mustard - such as horseradish/dijon for pork; tarregon/dijon for chicken)
Progresso Bread Crumbs (plain)Preheat oven to 350F. Cover half sheet pan with heavy duty foil (or rimmed cookie sheet).
If you have time -- brine meat. I like to use a scant 1/4 Kosher salt & scant 1/8 cup sugar in 2 qts. water. Brine for 30-45 min. in fridge.
On a plate put 1 Tablespoon (approx.) of mustard per chop or piece of chicken on a plate.
On another plate pour a goodly quantity of bread crumbs, add some salt & pepper if you like.
Rinse meat. Pat dry.
Coat with mustard -- HEAVILY.
Then dredge in crumbs.
Place on sheet pan. Bake thin chops 30 min.; thick ones 45. Chicken around 45 min. (I usually test with a thermometer or use the 'plug in and keep it in' thermometer.
Wash hands with soap for at least 30 seconds. Then put roasting pan in the oven. Open dishwasher (if you have one).
Clean and disinfect cutting board (if its not a plastic that you put in dishwasher.) Immediately put plates & knife in dishwasher. Wash hands with soap for at least 30 seconds again (You touched "contaminated" things after all!)
Disinfect countertop and any other item, surface, handle or thing you may have touched after you started handling the meat. Put kitchen towel in laundry hamper (its contaminated u know).
You can also chop up new potatoes and roast them with the meat at the same time. (Do that before the meat handling.)
5-10 minutes prep. 5 minutes clean up. Dinner is done. Have a salad or nuke a frozen veggie.
