What is in Poultry Seasoning?
I used poultry seasoning in this recipe, which is a combination of dried basil, rosemary, sage, marjoram, thyme and oregano.
You can get some on Amazon, but even if you don't have poultry seasoning on hand, you can easily swap in any combination of these herbs, or even just one of them, and it will still turn out great!

375 is not even close to hot enough to do anything but have some soggy breading turn it up to 425 And maybe it'll work. L RECIPE.

Feel free to adjust to your preferences, but just know that the recipe calls for putting the breading only on top of the pork chops, so they definitely wouldn't come out soggy. I am afraid the toasted breading would actually burn at 425F before the pork chops cook all the way through. But everyone's oven is different, so let me know if you give the higher temperature a try.

I don't have Dijon mustard just regular mustard and dry mustard can I use either of those or something else in place of the Dijon mustard?

Regular mustard is fine! I'll add that as a note.

They looked good in the photo but my son and didn't like the taste. The cut was just a regular cut but I did have to cook for 40 minutes. I will not make again.

Sorry to hear that! What was off about the taste? Did you like the flavor of the seasonings that were used? Did it need more salt? What thickness is a "regular" cut in your store? Have you tested your oven temperature for accuracy? Knowing all this will help me troubleshoot this recipe, if you do want to cook something similar in the future.

This was delicious! I used Maille x Mike's Hot Honey Dijon Mustard which gave it a little extra sweetness & zing. I also used pre-seasoned Italian Panko. Since I used thin pork chops, I only baked for ten minutes (and next time I might try 8-9 instead.) Will definitely make again because it was so easy and tasty.

We don’t use mustard in our home. I read that mayonnaise is an ok substitute. Will this be ok?

I haven't tried this without mustard, but it should be OK with mayo. I would just add a tiny splash of vinegar (apple cider vinegar probably) and some ground black pepper to the mayo to give it a bit of a kick and acidity like mustard has. Let me know how it turns out!
