Parmesan Dijon Crusted Pork Chops
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 25 minutes
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork loin chops
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet. Cooking the pork chops on top of the baking sheet will allow them to crisp up on both sides and keep them from becoming soggy.
- Season the chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a shallow mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, spicy brown mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, onion powder, oregano, basil, and Italian seasoning. Dredge each chop in the mustard mixture, liberally coating both sides.
- On a large plate, spread the Parmesan cheese into a thin layer. Coat the mustard covered chops liberally with Parmesan cheese on both sides. Place the pork chops in a single layer across the cooking rack.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Then broil on high, on the top oven rack for 3 to 4 minutes or until chops are nice and crisp and golden brown.

Bethany says
Do you have the recipe for the cauliflower mash? The link you put up does not lead to the recipe… it says the blog has been removed. 🙁
MaJay says
I find all kinds of califlower mash recipes on pinterest… just put in califlower mash potatoes at the top…it all pops up. love my pinterest!
Kyndra Holley says
Bethany – I fixed the link. It should work now.
Amy says
Hi Kyndra –
I made these the other night and they were AMAZING!!! I doubled the basil and put in some chopped fresh basil from the patio garden also. I had to bake mine a lot longer but they still turned out very tasty!
This recipe has made it to my ‘make these often’ list! Yay 🙂

I can’t access the recipe either- or for the Beef Stroganoff Paties.

This recipe used to be on this blog. Now you have to buy the cookbook for it. What a joke. I’ll be deleting it off my pinterest and bookmark list.
Kyndra H says
Well that was super nice of you. There is still over 100 free recipes on my site. But I don’t think this is the site for you anyway. Peace, and Love
AzCardsGirl says
Kyndra H, that was the perfect reply. Some people are so rude!!! I love your site AND your cookbooks!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Jenn Tyler says
I can’t see the recipe! Is it not available anymore?
Anonymous says
I don’t believe any of the previous comments were sufficiently enthusiastic. These chops were ah.may.zing. So flavorful! I’m just getting into the low-carb groove for my husband and need lots of guidance. Thanks much for sharing the recipe…I’ll happily send friends and family your way.
Kathleen Purvis says
Outstanding pork chops!
Cyndi says
Used this recipe tonight for pork cutlets- pretty easy and very good…..served with brussels sprouts sautéed in bacon grease; thank you!
Elaine says
Oh my! I made both the pork chops and cauliflower mash for dinner – and lunch the next day. The only change I made was omission of the second mustard — I only used Dijon but added an extra spoonful. Fabulous and easy recipe and the hint to put the chops on a rack was spot on – my chops were crispy and delicious. I used 2 bags of frozen cauliflower cooked in the microwave and the dish turned out perfect. I was worried about the mash being too chunky but the frozen cauliflower mashed up very smoothly. LOVE your recipes and look forward to your Facebook updates!!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Hi Elaine, so so happy to hear that you enjoyed these two recipes. I will say that the dijon on the porkchops really fueled my love of different mustards. I have about 5 different kinds in my fridge right now.
Michelle H says
Thanks for posting that. I was about to ask what you could sub for the spicy brown mustard since I wanted to leave that out. I’ll try it with the extra Dijon.
JuliaInNM says
I used the drippings from the pork chops in my stir fry of bacon, Brussels sprouts and mushrooms. Gave them more flavor to mimic the meat.

Raleigh says
HOLY COW! Made these for dinner, and they are by far the BEST pork chops I’ve ever had. EVER! My fiance even loved them, and he’s terrified of anything low-carb! Cant wait to dig through your website and find more recipes to try out! Thanks a ton!
Diana says
I’m not a fan of any mustards, but I had to try this as hubby is and this looked easy….so glad I did ’cause it is delicious!! Will definitely make again, thanks! 😀
Jodi B says
These were fantastic, and completely doable as a rookie cook. Thank you!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Yay! I am so happy you enjoyed them. They are one of my husbands favorites.
Pat says
WOW – these were amazing. I ended up fiddling with the spices a bit (didn’t have tarragon on hand), but stayed in the same profile. Our family is in a rut with dinner……I’m going to be checking out more recipes from you!
Dawn says
Tried these tonight and it was a hit! My mother was recently diagnosed diabetic so I am trying to switch foods we currently eat to low carb options. Normally, I would have fried the chops in Italian seasoning but this was so yummy that I didn’t even miss the old way of doing them.
Jess says
I made these last night and they turned out so delicious! At first I was a bit put off by the mustard since I’m not a mustard fan *at all*. But after they were fully cooked, the harshness of the mustard gave way to a gorgeous blended flavour with the parmesan cheese. And the bits of parm that stuck to the tray? They were like little parm wafers! 😀
Sarah C says
Wow, amazing – didn’t get crispy even after broiling, but still, the flavor was excellent!
connie says
im so doing this tonight with my chicken thighs…I made your chirozo and mushroom the other day, I just kind of did my own thing….I threw chicken thighs, chirozo, creamcheese,mushrooms and a little chicken broth, into crockpot, came out delish…..cant wait to try this…thank you
Lauren B says
Hey Kyndra!
Any chance you have info on the size of chops to use? I bought some dreadfully thin ones at the grocery last month, and I”m wondering how many I should get out to thaw based on this recipe. Planning on making this tomorrow night for dinner! Thanks a bunch!

Missy says
Just made the Dijon Parmesan Chops with the Horseradish Cauliflower with Carmelized Onions. – LOVE THEM BOTH – Thank you for such yummy recipes. I may never eat cauliflower any other way again. ????
Elizabeth Cowell says
In search of some guidance! I made these for dinner tonight, but made 6 small chops. I baked them for at least 25 minutes because they still didn’t seem done, and even after broiling they never got a good, crusty finish. The mustard taste was VERY overwhelming! After seeing all of the positive reviews I’m just wondering where I went wrong!
Susannah says
I made these, and while I loved the taste, they were pretty wet. Any thoughts on how I could get them crispier? Thanks!!!!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Are you cooking them on top of a cooking rack? Also, if you cook them the last 5 minutes on broil, that crisps them up.
Staci Thompson says
I had bookmarked this recipe a while back, but for some reason had not made it until tonight. We served it with green beans, but the Porkchop was awesome! Ours were a bit thicker I believe, because we had to cook them just a little bit longer but they were amazing. Thank you so much for this recipe!’
Peace Love and Low Carb says
So happy you enjoyed them. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know. 🙂
Carly says
I didn’t realize I bought bone in chops… Can I still use them?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Yes, absolutely. Any pork chops will work.
Sophia says
Kyndra, WOW.
I did not expect how delicious this was. That mustard and cheese were the perfect compliments to the pork. This is definitely a keeper!
Also, I paired with your Horseradish Cauli Mash. I was SO skeptical. I don’t like horseradish, but I decided to go on a little faith. It really is the perfect side for these pork chops. I ended up adding a little more sour cream to temper that horseradish flavor a little, but SOOO good.
Thank you for your great recipes.
Darla says
Made these pork chops last night, they were really good. They would probably be even better had I followed the recipe correctly…LOL!
I logged the recipe in My Fitness Pal and it logs a serving as 16 carbs??? Is there something I need to adjust somewhere?
Thank you!
Darla
Peace Love and Low Carb says
I would go line by line and double check the MFP totals. Since anyone can enter information, a lot of the things you will find on there are inaccurate. This dish has very, very minimal carbs. With the only carbs coming from the spices.
Darla says
I’ll do that.
Thank you!
Allison says
I love these pork chops but am trying to get away from using ‘canned’ Parmesan. Do you think it would work with fresh grated Parmesan?
Thanks for any help and all your yummy recipes!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Yes, that is what I use.
Roberta says
I goggled ” boneless pork chops, your blog came up and I’m so happy to find it. I maded these chops last night, very easy and super delicious. I was amazed at how flavorful they were thank you for your creativity.
Pamela Krugman says
Made these for dinner this evening. Absolutely delicious!!!
Thank you!
Jane says
My husband is on a low carb diet. I was looking for a pork chop recipe and came across this one. He absolutely LOVED it. He said it was the BEST pork chop he has ever had. It was so moist and the flavor was great! I did use a thicker pork chop so I increased the cooking time. This definitely a keeper! Sharing it on Facebook! ❤

Joy says
We made these last night.. and they were SO GOOD!

Meg says
Please add how thick the boneless chops are that you use for this recipe. Baking time varies depending upon the thickness of chops. That would be very helpful, especially for those that are beginner cooks. Very tasty recipe exactly as described, thanks! Will use frequently for keto diet.
★★★★★
Diane says
This was a really nice meal. I pounded my boneless pork chops to make sure they were tender and I’m glad I did. Even though I followed the directions to put the chops on a rack, mine were still wet on the bottom. That’s fine with me and they were delicious. I also made the Mashed Cauliflower which was delicious with the horseradish sauce in them. Really glad I made that as the side dish. I used a bag of frozen riced cauliflower and halved the other ingredients. Thanks for posting your recipes.

Muniza says
Can I use chicken thighs for this recipe instead of pork chops?
Veronica says
Oh my. These pork chops. We just started the keto diet and these are a FANTASTIC addition to regular meal planning. The mustard mellows out and the meat was not dry, even after I had broiled it for an extra amount of time. The bottom of mine were still soggy despite the cooking rack, but it did not influence the taste or texture whatsoever. Killer recipe!
★★★★★
Rebecca says
I didnt have any dijon mustard so instead I substituted mayonnaise. OMG was it good! The flavor, the moistness of the chops – it was literally amazing! I cant wait for my husband to come home and try them lol
Easily the best pork chop I’ve ever eaten

Marya Welch says
I think I used pork chops that were to thick had to cook a long time. They didn’t really crisp up .
