If you’re looking for quick-cooking convenience and delicious, succulent flavor, you picked the right cut of pork.
In our minds, there’s nothing more moist and flavorful than boneless pork chops. Ours come from the rib section of the pork loin with gorgeous marbling throughout. You’ll notice a thick strip of tasty fat along the rib that keeps the chop juicy and flavorful.

Ingredients
- 4 ea ButcherBox Pork Chops, bnls/bone-in
- 1 ea egg lightly beaten
- 1 c Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
- ¾ c Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
Cherry Tomato Vinaigrette
- 1 qt cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 ea shallot finely chopped
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
Garnish
- 3 Tbsp chives finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
Cherry Tomato Vinaigrette
- Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until slightly translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and stir often, until the tomatoes begin to release juices (about 5 minutes). Add vinegar and 1 Tbsp oil. After 3-4 minutes, when liquid has slightly reduced, remove from heat.
- Remove cherry tomato vinaigrette from skillet and place in serving dish.
Parmesan Pork Chops
- Using a gallon zip lock bag cut open on three sides, or two pieces of plastic wrap, cover your pork chops on both sides. With a meat mallet or back of a frying pan, pound the chops thin, about ¼” in thickness.
- Whisk egg in a wide bowl or pie plate. In a separate bowl or pie plate, mix bread crumbs and parmesan.
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper and coat chops in egg batter. Next, dip pork chops in bread-cheese mixture, patting lightly so that the breading adheres.
- In a skillet, heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil on medium-high heat. Working in batches, add breaded pork chops and brown both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Transfer pork chops to a wire rack in a sheet pan, finish in oven for 5 to 6 minutes, or until interior temperature is 145ºF. Serve pork chops with cherry tomato vinaigrette, and fresh chives.
