Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops, about ¾-inch thick approximately 1½ pounds total
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup plain bread crumbs
- ¼ cup freshly shredded Parmesan
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 egg beaten
- olive oil spray
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil and set aside. Season the pork chops on both sides with salt.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, garlic, and parsley. Stir with a fork to combine. In another shallow bowl, whisk the egg.
- Dip the pork chops into the egg, then the breadcrumb mixture, pressing on both sides to make sure the crumbs stick to the pork. Place each coated pork chop on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spray the tops of the pork chops with olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
