Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried thyme.
Step 3
Drizzle the pork chops with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 4
In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Step 5
Press each pork chop firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly. Gently shake off any excess crumbs.
Step 6
Place the breaded pork chops in the prepared baking dish, leaving space between each chop for even cooking.
Step 7
Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Step 8
For a golden, crispy crust, broil the pork chops on high for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 9
Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad. Enjoy!
