Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 6 center-cut pork chops - boneless, about 1 ½ pounds and ¾-1" thick
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese - freshly grated
  • ¾ cup Italian-style panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil - plus more as needed

Instructions

  • Whisk the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika together in a small bowl.
  • Season the pork chops with the spice mix on both sides and rub it in to coat.
  • Put the parmesan in a shallow bowl and press the pork chops into the cheese one at a time to cover them on both sides.
  • Once all the pork chops are covered in parmesan, mix the breadcrumbs into the remaining parmesan cheese, and set aside.
  • Whisk the eggs and water in a separate shallow bowl. Dip a pork chop into the egg, dripping off any excess.
  • Then cover with the breadcrumbs, pressing gently so that they stick better.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the pork chops, making sure they are not touching.
  • Cook for 1 minute then turn the heat down to medium-low and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Gently flip the chops over, turn the heat back up to medium, and cook for 2 minutes then turn the heat down to medium-low.
  • Cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chops reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit and the crust turns a light golden color.
  • Let them rest for about 5 minutes before garnishing with minced parsley if desired.

Notes

  •    These parmesan-crusted pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a 350-degree oven for 5-7 minutes or until heated through.
