Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 Lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Place the flour in a third shallow dish.

Step 4

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Dredge each chop lightly in flour, shaking off the excess.

Step 5

Dip the floured chops in the beaten eggs, ensuring they're coated evenly.

Step 6

Press each chop into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Gently press down to help the coating adhere.

Step 7

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chops and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
