Veal Chops Parmesan Style

By: The Food Hunter

Although I love all things made Parmesan style, I also try to eat super healthy 90% of the time. For me that equates to avoiding deep fried foods. So when I came across the recipe below, that basically bakes veal chops Parmesan style, I knew I had to give it a try.  And I'm so glad I did!

If you aren't a veal fan....no worries you can easily substitute chicken or even pork and still get the same delicious results.

In a small mixing bowl combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme, oregano, Italian parsley and crushed red pepper and stir. Add a dash of salt.

Place the veal chops on a large cutting board and brush the olive oil and herb mixture on both sides  of the chops.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Heat 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in an oven safe large skillet over medium high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for two minutes. Add the veal chops and let them brown on one side for 2 minutes, flip and brown the other side for two minutes.

Place the skillet with the veal chops into the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chops reaches 160 degree F.

During the last couple of minutes of cooking add the mozzarella cheese and let it melt.

Serve with your favorite side dish.
