Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and set them aside. This helps the breading stick better.
Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, mix the flour with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and the remaining salt and pepper.
Dip each pork chop into the flour mixture, coating it evenly on both sides. Shake off any excess flour.
Next, dip the pork chop into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off.
Finally, press the pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Repeat for all the pork chops.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the breaded pork chops into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
