Ingredients

  • 6 boneless thick-cut pork chops
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups crushed Ritz crackers
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ cup of unsalted butter (cut into thin slices)
  • Optional: Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), or 170°C if using a fan/convection oven. Prepare a 9x13 (approx 22x23 cm) baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Season the pork chops evenly on both sides with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Set up a dredging station: In a medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.

  4. 4

    In another medium-sized bowl, combine the crushed crackers, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika.

  5. 5

    One at a time, dip each pork chop in the egg mixture, letting any extra drip off.

  6. 6

    Next, coat each chop in the cracker mixture, pressing the crumbs on both sides for a good coat.

  7. 7

    Place the breaded chops in the prepared baking dish.

  8. 8

    Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of the leftover cracker mixture over each chop.

  9. 9

    Top each chop with slices of butter.

  10. 10

    Bake for around 30 minutes. The pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 155°F (68°C). Note: Cooking time may vary based on chop size.

    If desired, garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
