Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Whole milk
• 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and set them aside to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried parsley. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, beat the eggs with the milk until fully blended.

Step 4

In a third shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Season the pork chops on both sides with the remaining teaspoon of salt.

Step 6

Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, ensuring it is completely coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 7

Dip the floured pork chop into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 8

Press the pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture, coating it evenly on all sides. Gently pat to adhere the breading.

Step 9

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers and is hot, but not smoking.

Step 10

Place the breaded pork chops in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Work in batches if necessary.

Step 11

Fry the pork chops for about 6-7 minutes on the first side, until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 12

Transfer the cooked pork chops to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 13

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

Step 14

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