Caesar Pork Chops Recipe

  • by

Updated on September 15th, 2025

This Caesar pork chops recipe are a fun twist on a classic weeknight dinner. Instead of complicated marinades or sauces, this recipe uses Caesar salad dressing to bring big flavor with very little effort. The pork chops are coated in a simple flour and Italian seasoning mix, dipped in creamy Caesar dressing, and topped with parmesan cheese before baking. The result is juicy chops with a golden, cheesy crust that taste like you put in way more work than you actually did. With only a handful of ingredients, this dish is easy enough for a quick dinner but special enough to serve when you want something different.

Why this recipe works

  • Big flavor, little effort: Using Caesar dressing as a marinade and coating gives the pork chops a tangy, garlicky, and cheesy flavor without needing lots of extra ingredients.
  • Cheesy crust: The parmesan on top melts and browns in the oven, giving the pork chops a delicious crust that’s hard to resist.
  • Tender and juicy: Baking the pork chops at the right temperature keeps them moist inside while still getting that crisp top layer.
  • Minimal ingredients: With only five ingredients, this recipe is straightforward and budget-friendly while still delivering great taste.
  • Versatile choice: Works just as well with boneless chops if that’s what you have on hand, making it easy to adapt.

Serving suggestions

  • Classic sides: Serve with mashed potatoes or baked potatoes to soak up the cheesy, garlicky flavors from the pork chops.
  • Add greens: A crisp Caesar salad on the side complements the flavors perfectly and adds some freshness to the plate.
  • Make it hearty: Round out the meal with garlic bread or roasted vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or green beans.
  • Family-style meal: Place the pork chops on a platter with sides in bowls and let everyone help themselves for a casual, comforting dinner.
  • Next-day lunch: Slice up leftover pork chops and layer them into a sandwich or wrap with lettuce and extra Caesar dressing.
