Welcome to this week’s Publix Super Meals. Each week I am going to share a recipe to help you take the Publix Super Deals and turn them into Publix Super Meals!

This week I whipped up a delicious recipe that is super simple – Pretzel Crusted Pork Chops.

This is one of those recipes that takes less than 10 minutes to prep and then finishes in the oven. I always toss in a few sweet potatoes when I start the pork and they are done at the same time. Steam up a veggie and you have a great meal lickity split.

Now, I will tell you that the honey mustard dressing is the real star of this show. I have actually seen my husband take his finger and repeatedly sop up the sauce and then lick his finger…shhh – don’t tell him that I told on him 😉

Put the pork and pretzel that are on sale at Publix this week on your shopping list and give this one a try!

Ingredients
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup pretzels
  • 4 pork chops (approx 1 inch thick)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 5 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Place pretzels in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. You will have a combination of crumbs the size of traditional breadcrumbs and those the size of panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Mix the pretzels with the panko and set aside in shallow bowl or plate.
  4. Place the flour in a separate shallow bowl or plate.
  5. Place honey, dijon, vinegar and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl and whisk until combined.
  6. Pour about half the dressing into a shallow bowl or plate and reserve the rest.
  7. Season pork with salt and pepper before dredging.
  8. First dip the pork into the flour, covering all surfaces. Shake off any excess.
  9. Next dredge the floured pork in the honey mustard dressing.
  10. Finally, dip the coated pork in the breadcrumb/pretzel mixture pressing the crumbs onto the pork.
  11. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
  12. Place the coated pork in the hot oil and cook on one side for 3 -5 minutes.
  13. Use a spatula to flip the pork and place into a preheated oven for 18 – 20 minutes (or until internal temp of 145 degrees).
  14. Remove from oven and serve with reserved honey mustard dressing.
