Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Grated parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a spice blend.

Step 4

Rub the spice blend evenly over both sides of the pork chops.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for about 2–3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.

Step 6

In a separate shallow bowl, mix the parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Press each pork chop into the mixture, coating both sides evenly.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet with the coated pork chops to the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

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

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.
