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.
