Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, spread out the whole wheat breadcrumbs and mix with the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, place the non-fat plain Greek yogurt.
Pat dry the boneless pork chops with a paper towel to ensure they are fully dry, which helps the yogurt and breadcrumb coating adhere better.
Coat each pork chop completely in the Greek yogurt, ensuring they are fully covered.
Press the yogurt-coated pork chops firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coat on all sides.
Place the breaded pork chops on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each chop.
Lightly spray the tops of the pork chops with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your healthy and crispy breaded pork chops!
