Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a shallow dish, mix together breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the flour in a separate shallow dish and season with salt and black pepper.
- Dip each pork chop into the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Next, dip the pork chops into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Now coat the pork chops in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to adhere the breadcrumbs to the meat.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a tender and juicy result.
- Serve the oven-fried pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
- Enjoy your crispy and juicy oven-fried pork chops!
