Do you love coconut Shrimp, or coconut chicken? The same coating can be used with pork as well. I'll give you a couple of coating recipes for baked pork chops that come out very juicy.
Common to all recipes - egg wash: Combine one or two large eggs with 1/4 cup milk. Whisk until smooth.
Seasoned flour - 1 cup all purpose flour with 1 tsp. salt.
Bread Crumbs - make fresh by rubbing two slices of your favorite bread together over a bowl, or use panko, or regular store bought bread crumbs.
Ok. Here are the coatings:
Coconut pork chops:
Combine panko bread crumbs and coconut together in the ratio 2 parts bread crumbs to 1 part coconut - example: 1 cup breadcrumbs with 1/2 cup shredded coconut. Dredge the pork chops through the egg wash, then into the flour. Tap the chops to shake off excess flour. Dip in egg wash again, and then into the bread crumb/coconut mixture. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 40 minutes at 370 degrees.
Sage Pork Chops:
Ingredients:
1 cup AP Flour
2 tsp. rubbed Sage
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. ground black pepper
Egg Wash
1 cup Bread Crumbs
Combine the flour, sage, salt, and black pepper in a large, wide bowl.
Dip pork chops in egg wash, then flour, shake off excess flour, back in egg wash, then in bread crumbs. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 370 F. for 40 minutes.
Slow Burn Pork Chops:
Ingredients:
Egg Wash
1 cup AP Flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. granulated garlic
1/2 tsp. granulated onion powder
3 tbs. Sriracha Pepper Sauce
1 tsp. Tabasco Sauce
1/4 cup water
Combine pepper sauce, Tabasco, water, garlic and onion powder in a marinading bowl. Add chops. Stir to coat the chops. Cover and let sit in fridge for two hours.
Add salt to flour and stir to combine. Remove chops from the marinade, dredge in egg wash and flour. Shake off excess flour. Lightly fry chops in hot oil until flour just begins to brown. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes in 350 F. oven.
Plain, Breaded Pork Chops:
Ingredients:
1 cup flour

1 cup bread crumbs
egg wash
Dip chops in egg wash, then flour . Knock off extra flour and dip in egg wash again. Dip in bread crumbs. Place on cookie sheet and lightly salt. Bake at 370 for 40 minutes.
Hope this gives you some inspiration.
