Ranch and Panko&Parmesan Breaded Pork Chops and Garlicky Parmesan Noodles

Let me start by saying that this was amazing! I stopped making breaded pork chops probably two years ago because I was always disappointed in the results and I'm not a huge pork chop fan to begin with. This definitely changed my mind about it and I know I am going to be making this many more times! The noodles were also delicious and they are very easy to make. It is a nice side dish to add when you don't have too much time to cook but need something else for your meal.

Most times when I cook I do not measure everything exactly. (Although with baking I always do!) This is one of those cases.

Ranch and panko&parmesan breaded pork chops
and garlicky parmesan noodles.
Pork Chops
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup ranch dressing
6 boneless porkchops

Preheat oven to 375F. Combine the bread crumbs and parmesan in a shallow bowl. I used Panko bread crumbs and it was amazing! (I have been disappointed in bread crumbs lately... As odd as that sounds.) Put the ranch dressing in another shallow bowl. Dip the pork chops in the ranch to cover them, then the bread crumb/parmesan mixture. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the inside temperature reaches 160F. I turned the oven on broil at the end to make the bread crumbs crispy.


Noodles
3 cups (uncooked) egg noodles*
2 1/2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
couple dashes salt
dash black pepper
1/2 teaspoon parsley
about 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Make noodles according to directions on box. While the noodles are cooking mix the garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley together in a small bowl. Drain noodles and place back in pot, off of heat. Add butter and stir until melted. Stir in the spice mixture until evenly coated on noodles. Stir in parmesan. Enjoy!
*If you don't have or like egg noodles, any type of noodle will do. You might have to change the amount of uncooked noodles used due to different noodles expanding different amounts when they get cooked. I used farfalle noodles once and wagon wheels the second time.
