You know how I feel about one pan meals. And if you don’t, well let me just tell you that I’m basically borderline obsessed. They are MAGICAL. Honestly I don’t know how I ever survived weekly meal planning before they became so popular because these days I’m filling my weeknights with at least one if not two or three one pan meals each week.
Whoever thought to cook a protein and a side dish on the same pan, I’ll love you forever.
When I was testing out this recipe, I found myself eating the potatoes straight off the pan at 10 in the morning because they are so SO good.
And would you look at that beautiful pork chop right there?? ^^
Perfectly cooked through with a juicy center with a crispy golden breading on the outside with hints of garlic and ranch flavors. The real beauty of this recipe is that you use the same seasoning mix – dried ranch, salt, pepper, dried herbs, garlic powder, and paprika – for both the pork chop breading and the potatoes. Genius.
There’s literally nothing I don’t love about this recipe. One pan, easy to make, lots of tasty flavors going on, and it’s done in about a half hour. Plus you get to smother your meat and potatoes in creamy ranch dressing – what’s not to love?!
Where are my fellow ranch enthusiasts??? You get it.
Shake and Bake Ranch Pork Chops with Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 2 pounds baby red or yellow/gold potatoes - halved
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup milk
- 2 large eggs - whisked
- 4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- prepared ranch dressing, for serving
Seasoning Mix
- 1 packet (about 4 tablespoons) dried ranch seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian blend seasoning - see note
- ½ teaspoon smoked or regular paprika
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and grease a large baking pan/sheet pan. In a small bowl stir together all seasoning ingredients. In a large bowl toss potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle half of the seasoning mix (reserve second half for later) and parmesan cheese over the potatoes and toss to coat. (Alternately you can save parmesan cheese for sprinkling on top just before serving).
- Arrange potatoes cut-side-down on one half of the prepared baking sheet and transfer to the oven for 10 minutes while you prepare the pork chops.
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. In one medium sized, shallow bowl stir together panko breadcrumbs with reserved seasoning mix and set aside. In a second medium sized, shallow bowl whisk together milk and eggs.
- Dip pork chops in the milk mixture, turning to coat all sides, then dip in the breadcrumb mixture turning to coat all sides. (For extra-thorough coating you can repeat dipping in milk and breadcrumbs once more) Remove baking pan from oven and arrange pork chops on the empty half of the pan.
- Return pan to oven for 10 minutes, then flip pork chops over and bake another 10 minutes or until pork chops are cooked through (completely white through the middle or temperature of 140 degrees ) and potatoes are fork-tender.
- Serve pork chops and potatoes immediately with ranch dressing for dipping. Enjoy!
loved the flavor, but the breading did not get crispy on either side. i think the egg made it soggy. ever have this problem?
Hi Alex! I haven’t had that issue before but next time if you’re concerned about it.. take some cooking spray and spray the breading before you bake it! That should help a bit!
This is our go-to meal, we love it! I never eat pork chops as leftovers since they’re too dry, but not these! Amazing!
