Ingredients

• 2 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoons Water
• 1 as needed Olive oil or non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium-sized resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Shake or mix to combine the dry ingredients thoroughly.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.

Step 4

Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Dip each pork chop into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated, then place it in the bag or dish with the breadcrumb mixture. Shake or press the breadcrumbs onto the chops until they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Place the breaded pork chops on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching to allow for even cooking.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 7

Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute within the meat, ensuring maximum tenderness and flavor.

Step 8

Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
