Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork loin chops, boneless (trimmed of fat)
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 large Egg whites
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the wire rack lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the egg whites and Dijon mustard until frothy.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season them lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
Dip each pork chop into the egg white mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then transfer it to the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chop to adhere evenly, covering both sides.
Place the breaded pork chops on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are not touching to allow for even cooking.
Lightly spray the tops of the pork chops with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 3-5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve warm, paired with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh side salad.
