Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 0.75 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons non-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0 cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 3
Whisk together egg whites and non-fat milk in another shallow dish until well combined.
Step 4
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Dip each pork chop into the egg white and milk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 5
Coat the breaded pork chop in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the meat. Ensure each pork chop is well coated.
Step 6
Place the breaded pork chops on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the chops with cooking spray to aid in browning.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C) and the coating is golden brown.
Step 8
Allow the chops to rest for a few minutes before serving to redistribute the juices. Serve hot with your choice of side dish.
