Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash brown potatoes, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the potato mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it evenly.
Place the seared pork chops on top of the potato mixture.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the pork chops and potato layer.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops are fully cooked (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C) and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
