Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces egg whites
- 0 as needed olive oil cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the whole wheat bread crumbs, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper and mix well.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, lightly beat the egg whites until frothy.
Step 4
Spray a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to help the coating stick better.
Step 6
Dip each pork chop into the egg whites, ensuring both sides are coated, then press into the bread crumb mixture, covering both sides thoroughly.
Step 7
Place the coated pork chops onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Lightly spray the tops of the pork chops with cooking spray to help them brown.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C) and the crust is golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
