Step 1

Step 1: Preheat the Oven or Prepare Your Skillet

Step 2

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you plan to bake the pork chops. Alternatively, you can cook them entirely in a skillet on the stovetop. For the skillet method, heat some olive oil or butter over medium-high heat.

Step 2: Coat the Pork Chops

Step 4

In one bowl, whisk an egg. In a separate dish, combine your grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and any other seasonings. Dip each pork chop into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure the pork chop is thoroughly coated.

Step 3: Sear the Pork Chops

Step 6

If you’re using a skillet, carefully place the pork chops in the hot pan and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until they form a beautiful golden crust. If you’re baking, transfer the coated chops to a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet or oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring a tender, juicy chop.
