Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 cup Plain breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0 Olive oil spray or cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a lightly greased wire rack for better air circulation.

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 3

Prepare three separate plates or shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 4

Dredge each pork chop first in the flour, coating completely and shaking off any excess.

Step 5

Dip the floured pork chops into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 6

Press the pork chops firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly. Shake off any excess crumbs.

Step 7

Arrange the breaded pork chops on the prepared baking sheet or wire rack. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil or cooking spray to help create a golden crust.

Step 8

Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 9

Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
