Baked Veal Chop Parmesan

By: The Food Hunter

Although I love all parmesan-style foods, I also try to eat super healthy 90% of the time. For me, that equates to avoiding deep fried foods. With this parmesan veal chop recipe, you bake the veal chops (instead of frying them), then top with melted mozzarella cheese, for a lightened-up twist on the classic veal parmesan. There’s also no sugary tomato sauce involved, so it’s healthier in that way, too.

You can have a delicious and healthy veal parm-ish dinner on the table in about 30 minutes, with very minimal prep and only a few simple ingredients.

 

 Baked Veal Chop Parmesan

Ingredients

• 2 veal loin chops
• 4 Tbsp olive oil, divided
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

5. 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.
