Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoons Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season each side with a small pinch of salt and black pepper.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, paprika, and garlic powder.
Dip each pork chop into the flour, coating it evenly on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.
Next, dip the floured pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring full coverage.
Finally, press the pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture, coating it completely. Gently press down to help the breadcrumbs adhere.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to warm up for about 1 minute.
Sear the breaded pork chops in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Transfer the seared pork chops to the prepared baking dish.
Drizzle the lemon juice evenly over the tops of the pork chops for an added tangy flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the tangy breaded pork chops with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a light salad.
