Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Rub both sides of each pork chop with olive oil.
Sprinkle the herb mixture evenly over both sides of each pork chop, pressing gently so the seasoning adheres.
In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Press each pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are coated well on both sides.
Place the breaded pork chops onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
For a crispier crust, switch to the broiler setting for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 3-5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
