Homemade Shake N' Bake

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs ( I used fine)
2 Tbsp Salt
1 Tbsp Basil
1 Tbsp Paprika
2 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Steak Seasoning (optional)
1 Tbsp Sage (optional)

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until well blended. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 2 months.

To Serve:
Rub 1/2 cup Bread Crumb Mixture with 1 tsp of Vegtable Oil until the crumbs are the texture of wet sand. Place crumbs on a plate and gently pat both sides of meat or fish into the mixture.

Pork Chops:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat both sides of pork chops (I did 6 with 1/2 cup crumbs). Arrange pork chops on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake until no trace of pink remains inside near the bone, about 20 minutes.

Chicken:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bake until no pink remains at center of the thickest part, about 15 minutes. (based on 1 1/4" thick boneless, skinless chicken breast).
