    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.

    Chicken thigh made with homemade shake and bake on a cookie sheet covered with foil.

    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 of the box stuff 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.

    After you have mixed up your own coating, simply 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!

    Homemade Shake and Bake

    1 cup Bread Crumbs, plain

    1 cup Panko

    1 ½ teaspoons Salt

    1 ½ teaspoons Pepper

    1 ½ teaspoons Paprika

    ½ teaspoon Celery Seed

    1 teaspoon Garlic Powder

    1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

    1 1 /2 teaspoons Parsley

    2 tablespoons Canola Oil

    Put all the ingredients in a bag, close it and mix well.

    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.

      fixed this tonight with only one booboo. Ended up putting the oil on top of the chicken. Turned out awesome and I will make it again. did Chicken Thighs, bone in, for 30 minutes. They were right on the money temp wise internally. Thank you for sharing!

      What is the difference between plain bread crumbs and pinko. I think you can get plain pinko bread crumbs.

        Hi! Panko is a little bit different than bread crumbs. It has a slightly different texture. From what I have read, panko is made from a different type of bread and does not include any of the bread crust. They can be interchangeable, however, in this recipe, I prefer the combination of the two. I hope this helps.

      Was fun making something that brought back childhood memories. Turned out good. I took leftover chicken breasts and topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni and pesto sauce then baked till cheese was melted, yummy.
