Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cups Breadcrumbs (plain and unsalted)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the pork chops on a cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels.
Set up a breading station with three separate shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour. In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and water. In the third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip them into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, press them into the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops and sear for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve with your choice of side dishes.
