Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Grated parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a spice blend.
Rub the spice blend evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for about 2–3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
In a separate shallow bowl, mix the parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Press each pork chop into the mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Transfer the skillet with the coated pork chops to the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.
