Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
• 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons Onion powder
• 1 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 as needed Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. This helps the breading adhere better.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture evenly onto both sides of each pork chop.

Step 5

In a shallow dish, place the flour. In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs with the low-sodium chicken broth. In a third shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Dip each pork chop first into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the panko breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the pork chops to ensure they stick.

Step 7

Place the breaded pork chops onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray each pork chop with olive oil spray to help them crisp up while baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chops reads 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, keeping them juicy and tender.
