Craving comfort food with a flavorful twist? These Breaded BBQ Pork Chops are the ultimate combination of crispy, juicy, and tangy perfection! Each pork chop is coated in a golden Parmesan-panko crust, pan-seared to a crispy finish, and then brushed with rich, smoky BBQ sauce before being baked to caramelized perfection. With a harmonious blend of spices—like smoky paprika and savory garlic powder—infused into the breading, every bite is bursting with flavor. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or an impressive weekend gathering, this recipe pairs beautifully with classic sides like creamy mashed potatoes or crunchy coleslaw. Ready in just under an hour, these chops are your ticket to a crowd-pleasing meal that's as easy to make as it is delicious.
Prepare three separate shallow bowls: one with flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika mixed, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel to help the breading stick better.
Dredge each pork chop first in the seasoned flour mixture, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Press gently to adhere the coating.
Place the breaded pork chops on a plate or baking sheet and let them sit for 5 minutes to set the coating.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the pork chops in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C). Cook in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the skillet.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the tops of the cooked pork chops generously with BBQ sauce.
Place the pork chops on a lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, allowing the BBQ sauce to caramelize.
Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or coleslaw.
