Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1 inch thick)
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
• 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, combine the grated parmesan, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until blended.

Step 5

Place the flour in a third shallow bowl or plate.

Step 6

Dredge each pork chop in the flour, coating both sides and shaking off excess.

Step 7

Dip the floured pork chop into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 8

Press the pork chop into the parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides and pressing down gently to adhere.

Step 9

Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 10

Sear each pork chop for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.

Step 11

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 12

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve warm with your favorite sides.
