Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
• 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 1 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoons Dried parsley
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and set aside.

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls or plates. In the first bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Step 3

In the second bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until well combined.

Step 4

In the third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and dried parsley.

Step 5

Dredge each pork chop in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Press the pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure it is evenly coated on both sides. Gently press the mixture to adhere it to the meat.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.

Step 9

Add the pork chops to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Step 10

Cook the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature of the pork reads 145°F (63°C).

Step 11

Remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 12

Let the pork chops rest for 3-5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 13

Serve warm with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp salad.
