Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 cup Plain breadcrumbs
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, and season both sides evenly with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Set up a breading station: Place the flour in a shallow dish. Beat the eggs and milk together in a second shallow dish. In a third shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour to coat, then dip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, press the pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is fully coated on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Transfer the seared pork chops to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) using a meat thermometer.
Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Parmesan breaded pork chops with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
