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

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a shallow dish, mix together breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
3. Place the flour in a separate shallow dish and season with salt and black pepper.
4. Dip each pork chop into the flour, shaking off any excess.
5. Next, dip the pork chops into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
6. Now coat the pork chops in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to adhere the breadcrumbs to the meat.
7. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
8. 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.
9. 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).
10. 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.
11. Serve the oven-fried pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
12. Enjoy your crispy and juicy oven-fried pork chops!
