my pork share was delivered last wednesday and i wanted to use some of the pork straight away. i defrosted 4 pork chops……..about half an inch thick, each one.
after defrosting, pat them dry.
i made a mixture of panko bread crumbs………japanese style, larger than regular crumbs and very dry and crispy. dijon mustard, full grain, s and p, and o oil. make a paste of it.
season the chops with s and p.
pat the mixture onto one side of the chops, lay them on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper (anything to make clean up easier, i am all for!!) and press the mixture onto the other side of the chops.
pop them into a 400 degree oven and bake until the crumbs are quite golden brown, the chops are done and the smell begins to permeate the kitchen! maybe 20-30 minutes, but YOU be the judge! 
i served them with a mustard, mango chutney and some roasted veggies and a ceasar salad. bill and gabe loved them. i did too, and i hope you will.
they are easy to do, you can finish the sides while they bake and they taste wonderful. especially with the crispy, flavorful topping on them. try them.
as a variation, if you dont have or dont like pork chops…..you can substitute chicken breasts, of course. or my new fav fish, talapia fillets. in fact, i did the talapia last night the very same way with two variations……………into the panko mixture, i added a quarter cup of parmesan cheese……everything else stayed the same!!! and i put lemon slices UNDER the fillets so that as they baked there was this lovely perfume of lemon and spices in the air and when we bit into the fish, you could taste the lemon all thru the fish. wonderful. give either one……….or both!!!! a try.

thank you, carol, for the nice comments. you may know this already but ground or chopped almonds would be a good sub for the panko. you can buy almonds and either chop they finely by hand or put them in the food processor. they make a great topping for fish or chicken. you could leave all the other ingredients in place and just change out the almonds for the panko. hope you try it and see if you like it.
