These Parmesan-crusted pork chops are about to be a regular in your dinner rotation! Juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, they can't be topped.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless pork chops, about 1 inch thick
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • fresh parsley, for serving (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    In a shallow dish, mix together the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, paprika, parsley, garlic powder, and black pepper. Place the beaten eggs in a separate shallow dish.

  3. 3

    Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Dip each pork chop in the egg, allowing the excess to drip off. Then coat thoroughly in the Parmesan mixture, pressing to adhere.

  5. 5

    Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded pork chops and sear until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Transfer the skillet with the pork chops to the preheated oven. Bake until cooked through and registering 145 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. (About 10-12 minutes.)

  7. 7

    Remove pork chops from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy!
