Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Prepare 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 unsweetened almond milk. In the third dish, combine plain breadcrumbs and panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off the excess.
Dip the pork chops into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Press each side of the pork chops into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure they are completely covered.
In a large, oven-proof skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the breaded pork chops to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 10 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 3 minutes before serving.
