    Pork tenderloin is one of the most foolproof proteins you can make in the kitchen. Because it already has the name "tender" in its title, you can rest assured you'll be serving a cut of meat that will be easily sliceable and incredibly moist from end to end.

    Why this recipe works

    Since tenderness isn't the issue with a pork tenderloin, it's the flavor which can sometimes be lacking. This Honey Dijon Pork Tenderloin with Breadcrumbs & Lemon is anything but bland. You'll love the tiny hint of sweet from the honey which marries well with the mild flavor of the Dijon mustard and fresh zest of lemon.

    The ingredient list:

    • pork tenderloin (not the flavored variety)
    • honey
    • Dijon mustard
    • breadcrumbs
    • lemon zest
    • salt and pepper
    • garlic powder
    • olive oil
    • fresh parsley (optional)

    The time it will take you to make this delicious pork tenderloin is roughly 50 minutes. Once you've coated the tenderloin with the honey Dijon mixture and rolled it in the seasoned breadcrumbs, the oven does all the work so you can go about your business until it's din din dinnertime!

    This meal will feed approximately 6 people with two slices each. However, you can feed even more people depending on how thickly you slice the meat. My husband is always the slicer of our family, and he likes his pork tenderloin slices about 1" thick. 

    The easy instructions

    • In a shallow dish mix together the breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
    • In a small bowl stir together the honey and Dijon mustard.
    • Use paper towels to pat the pork tenderloin pieces completely dry.

    • Brush the honey Dijon mixture liberally over each pork tenderloin piece.
    • Roll and press each honey Dijon coated tenderloin piece into the seasoned breadcrumbs and then transfer the breadcrumb coated tenderloins to a baking dish that has been sprayed with olive oil or cooking spray.
    • Drizzle olive oil over each tenderloin piece and roast in a 350 degree preheated oven for 45 minutes.
    • Remove the cooked tenderloin from the oven and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
