I would eat them but they weren&#8217;t high on my list of favorites.  Luckily, as I have gotten older and found my love of cooking I have discovered some ways to cook pork chops and really enjoy them.  I mean how much chicken can someone really eat?!<\/p>\n<p>I was excited when I found this great sounding recipe for Panko-Crusted Pork Chops with Creamy Herb Dressing.  It just gives a fresh twist on your everyday pork chop dish.  I also love that it is low in calories because with the crispiness of the coating and the creamy dressing, it doesn&#8217;t feel like you&#8217;re eating healthy.  It&#8217;s a comforting meal that you don&#8217;t have to feel guilty about.  It is also a pretty neutral dish, so it is easy to change up the side dishes that you serve with it each time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-151\" title=\"dscn00702\" src=\"http:\/\/foodietwoshoes.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dscn00702-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"dscn00702\" width=\"430\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"http:\/\/foodietwoshoes.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dscn00702-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/foodietwoshoes.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dscn00702-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-149\" title=\"dscn0075\" src=\"http:\/\/foodietwoshoes.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dscn0075-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"dscn0075\" width=\"430\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"http:\/\/foodietwoshoes.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dscn0075-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/foodietwoshoes.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dscn0075-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Panko-Crusted Pork Chops with Creamy Herb Dressing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff3333;\">courtesy of Cooking Light, October 2008<\/span><br \/>\n2 tsp. all purpose flour<br \/>\n1\/4 tsp. salt<br \/>\n1\/4 tsp. onion powder<br \/>\n1\/4 tsp. ground cumin<br \/>\n1\/4 tsp. chili powder<br \/>\n1\/8 tsp. crushed red pepper<br \/>\n1 tsp. low sodium soy sauce<br \/>\n1 large egg white<br \/>\n1\/3 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)<br \/>\n2 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut loin pork chops (about 1\/2 inch thick)<br \/>\n1 tsp. olive oil<br \/>\ncooking spray<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dressing<\/strong><br \/>\n1 tbs. chopped green onion<br \/>\n1 tbs. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley<br \/>\n2 tbs. fat-free sour cream<br \/>\n1 tbs. fat-free milk<br \/>\n1 tbs. reduced-fat mayonnaise<br \/>\n1 tsp. cider vinegar<br \/>\n1\/4 tsp. garlic powder<\/p>\n<p>To prepare pork, preheat oven to 450 degree.<\/p>\n<p>Combine first 6 ingredients in a shallow dish.  combine soy sauce and egg white in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.
