Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and set them aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix the flour with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs until fully combined.
In a third shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped rosemary, and chopped thyme.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, making sure to coat all sides. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured pork chop into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.
Press the pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture, covering it thoroughly with the herb and Parmesan coating. Gently press to adhere the breadcrumbs.
Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
