Instructions
1
Begin by preparing your workstation with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the Bisquick baking mix. In the second bowl, pour in the Italian dressing. In the third bowl, place the seasoned breadcrumbs.
2
Take each pork loin chop and coat it thoroughly with the Bisquick mix, ensuring all sides are covered.

Subsequently, roll the pork chop in the garlic and herb-seasoned breadcrumbs until it’s completely covered.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the coated pork chops in the skillet.
6
Cook the chops for approximately 5 minutes, or until they are beautifully golden brown on one side. Adjust the heat to low to prevent burning.

Gently turn the pork chops over to cook the other side, taking care to maintain the crust.
