Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably plain or seasoned)
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (or cooking spray)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Step 3

In one shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In another shallow bowl or plate, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.

Step 4

Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating to the meat.

Step 5

Place the coated pork chops on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one to allow for even cooking.

Step 6

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top of the pork chops or lightly spray them with cooking spray. This step will help achieve a crispy, golden-brown crust.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 8

Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

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