Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs (panko recommended)
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with half the salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Spread the mustard mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.

Step 4

Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, press it into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, coating both sides evenly.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

Transfer the seared pork chops to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

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

Step 9

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