Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place a wire rack on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
Season the pork chops with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes.
In the first dish, place the all-purpose flour.
In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
In the third dish, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and dried parsley.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off the excess.
Dip the floured pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Press the pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring all sides are coated with the breadcrumb mixture.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the breaded pork chops to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
Transfer the pork chops to the prepared wire rack.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with your choice of sides such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
