Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly mixed.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well combined.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Dip each pork chop in the beaten eggs, making sure to coat both sides.
Then, press each pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring a generous and even coating on all sides.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops.
Sear the pork chops for about 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.
Transfer the pork chops to the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove from oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve with your choice of sides.
