Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Plain breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- Olive oil spray or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a lightly greased wire rack for better air circulation.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Prepare three separate plates or shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper.
Dredge each pork chop first in the flour, coating completely and shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured pork chops into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Press the pork chops firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly. Shake off any excess crumbs.
Arrange the breaded pork chops on the prepared baking sheet or wire rack. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil or cooking spray to help create a golden crust.
Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
