I know that I completely over do it on my Cooking Light recipes, but I just can't help it, they rarely disappoint. I think what I love the most about Cooking Light is that I never feel like I'm eating "diet food," which is good, because nothing is worse then choking something down that is void of taste and has the texture of cardboard. I also love it because I can eat something like a pork chop that has been breaded, shallow fried, and covered in a white sauce, and still lose weight. I tell you, they have miracle workers up there in Cooking Lightland! This is a FANTASTIC dish, it's a great way to spruce up an ordinary pork chop, it's got tons of flavor and how can you not love a crusty panko breading? Be sure to make the dressing with this recipe, it adds a cool and tangy flavor to the pork chops that you'll love!

Fabulous Teresa...we use panko too but I have never used them on pork chops, it looks so darn good!
This sounds so good! I made something like this not too long and served it with some taziki sauce and Greek potatoes.

I love cooking light too! I have ten of their cookbooks. This looks great, panko always makes such a nice crust.
What a GREAT idea!
