Enjoy a delightful twist on classic pork chops with this crispy parmesan-crusted recipe, perfect for a satisfying dinner.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors in the coating.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Beating the eggs thoroughly helps them coat the pork chops evenly.
Dip each pork chop into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, covering all sides.
Pressing the pork chops into the breadcrumb mixture ensures a thick, even coating.
Place the coated pork chops onto the prepared baking sheet.
Leave space between the pork chops on the baking sheet for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork chops are golden brown and cooked through.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Serve the pork chops warm with your favorite sides, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and added flavor.
