Dijon mustard pork chops are tender and juicy with a crispy exterior. This classic German flavor combination requires very little in terms of ingredients and prep time, but it pays off with big flavor.

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs

A bread crumb coating is all you need to turn pork chops into a wow-worthy family dinner. Try the breading on chicken breasts too. —Chris Rentmeister, Ripon, Wisconsin
