Here is a surprisingly simple recipe for Homemade Shake and Bake that I like to use as a simple and tasty alternative to good old Shake ‘n Bake. It works well for both chicken and pork.

When I was young, and living at my grandmother’s house, Shake ‘n Bake was almost always in the cabinet.  Because it was so simple we used it often, and mostly on chicken breasts. After I got married I was surprised that my husband actually liked it too. We would frequently use it on pork chops or chicken thighs.

Then, there are the times when you want to throw together a quick meal but your stash has run out. By using a combination of spices mixed with a base of bread crumbs and panko, this Homemade Shake and Bake works perfectly! In fact, I think I like it better. For super easy cleanup, just mix up all the ingredients in a plastic bag.

Then, add the chicken or pork, and give it a shake. Now it is ready to pop in the oven.

And… dinner is ready. Yummy chicken or pork chops your family will surely love. For an especially simple meal, I usually serve it with a simple salad.

It is so easy and delicious. The best part is that this homemade method just takes a minute or two longer than using the boxed mix. Plus, it tastes so good!

Next, add the pork or chicken one piece at a time and shake.

Then place the meat on a cooking sheet that has been covered with foil and sprayed with non-stick spray.

Bake the pork chops in a 400-degree oven for 20 – 25 minutes, or until done depending on the thickness of the chops. The temperature for pork should reach 145 degrees.

Bake the chicken in a 400-degree oven for about 20 minutes for boneless and about 45 minutes for bone-in or until done. The temperature should reach 165 degrees.
