Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Pour the Caesar dressing into a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dip each pork chop into the Caesar dressing, ensuring it's fully coated, then press it into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture. Turn to coat both sides evenly.
Place the coated pork chops onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Lightly drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the pork chops or spray them with cooking spray to help the coating crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Optional: For an extra crispy crust, broil the pork chops on high for 1-2 minutes after baking.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Caesar Pork Chops with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
