Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard with one tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well and spread a thin layer of the mixture evenly over the top of each pork chop.
In another mixing bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, fresh parsley, the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and melted butter. Stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly moistened.
Place the pork chops on the prepared baking sheet. Press a generous amount of the breadcrumb mixture onto the mustard-coated side of each pork chop, patting gently to help the crumbs adhere.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the pork chops for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with extra fresh parsley if desired. Pair with roasted vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
