Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 boneless pork chops about ½-inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

Preheat Oven
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Mix the Coating
  1. In a shallow bowl or dish, combine the Parmesan cheese, Italian breadcrumbs, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Prep the Pork Chops
  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Brush each chop lightly with olive oil on both sides — this helps the coating stick and encourages browning.
Bread the Pork Chops
  1. Press each pork chop firmly into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, coating both sides evenly. Gently press the mixture onto the meat so it sticks well.
Bake
  1. Place the coated pork chops on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the coating is golden and crisp. Thicker chops may need a few more minutes.
Rest & Serve
  1. Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps the meat tender.
  2. Enjoy!
