Sheet Pan Breaded Pork Chops with Roasted Potatoes
A complete one-pan dinner featuring golden breaded pork chops alongside perfectly seasoned roasted potatoes. The pork gets a crispy panko-parmesan coating while the potatoes develop a buttery, herb-crusted exterior. This convenient sheet pan method means everything cooks together, making cleanup easy and ensuring both components are ready at the same time. Perfect for busy weeknight dinners when you want a satisfying, home-cooked meal without multiple pots and pans.
