Breaded Italian Pork Chops

BREADED ITALIAN PORK CHOPS

Note: This recipe was inspired by "Rock Recipes" Baked Parmesan Panko Pork Chops and I want to give credit to Rock Recipes for the base recipe...

I've changed it up to give an Italian flair and then added a fruit topping.
A DELICIOUS outcome!  Unbelievably juicy and tasty.  I  chose to serve this with Asparagus,Corn, and a baked Macaroni and Cheese with a crusted topping and applesauce.

So here's how to prepare this great dish, let's start from scratch:
