Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 cups Marinara sauce
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel, and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Set up a dredging station: Place the flour in a shallow dish, beat the eggs and milk together in a second dish, and combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese in a third dish.

Step 4

Dredge each pork chop in the flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating adheres well.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden-brown. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and spoon marinara sauce evenly over the pork chops.

Step 7

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each pork chop.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, and serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as pasta or a green salad.
