Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup panko Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 4 thick cut boneless pork chops (about 1 ½ inches thick)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons oil
  • 2 Tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted)
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley (or dried parsley, optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. You will need three shallow bowls for this recipe (to coat the pork chops.)
  • In a shallow bowl, add 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. Set aside. In a second shallow bowl, mix 2 large eggs until combined well. Set aside.
  • In a third shallow bowl, combine 1 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese, 1 cup panko Italian breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon paprika until well blended. Set aside.

  • Season both sides of 4 thick cut boneless pork chops with salt and pepper (about an 1/8th of a teaspoon each of salt and pepper per pork chop).
  • Dip each pork chop into the bowl with the flour (get both sides), then dip it into the egg mixture (get both sides).

  • Finally, dip it into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture. Set aside as you finish the rest of the pork chops.

  • Add 2 Tablespoons oil and 2 Tablespoons butter to a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once fully melted and the pan is hot, add the pork chops.
  • Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. You aren’t cooking all the way through, just getting some good color on them.

  • Place the oven safe skillet into the oven (on the middle rack) for about 8-12 minutes. You want an internal temperature of 145° F. Don't overcook the pork chops or they will turn out dry.
    NOTE: If you don’t have an oven safe skillet, just transfer the pork chops to a baking dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Also, oven times can vary so go by internal temperature of the pork chops, not just cooking time.
  • Rest for about 5 minutes before cutting into the pork chops.
  • Optional: top with 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley (or a little dried parsley) and enjoy.
