Approx times: Prep: 15 min - Cook: 20-25 min

Ingredients

Serves 4

4 boneless pork chops, about 1-in thick
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. Place flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of Parmesan cheese, parsley, and bread crumbs in the third.
Dredge each chop in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the eggs, ensuring full coverage, and then coat with the Parmesan-panko mixture, pressing the crumbs onto the pork.
In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
Ensure the pork chops are cooked through, and the crust is golden and crispy. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
