Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 30 crackers Ritz crackers
• 0.5 cups parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 1 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoons dried parsley
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Place the Ritz crackers in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or your hands. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow dish.

Step 3

Mix the Ritz crumbs with parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs with the milk until well blended.

Step 5

Place the flour in a third shallow dish.

Step 6

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Lightly dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off the excess.

Step 7

Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 8

Press each pork chop into the seasoned Ritz crumb mixture, making sure all sides are well-coated. Gently press the crumbs onto the pork chops to help them adhere.

Step 9

Place the breaded pork chops onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each chop.

Step 10

Lightly spray the tops of the pork chops with cooking spray to help them crisp up during baking.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 12

Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
