Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard and whole-grain mustard, mixing well to create a smooth paste.
In another bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the crust mixture.
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel, then brush each chop generously with the mustard mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Press each mustard-coated pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even crust forms on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer the seared pork chops to the prepared baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the mustard crusted pork chops alongside your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
