Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
- 2
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
- 3
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. Place flour in the first dish. Whisk eggs in the second dish. Combine panko breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese in the third dish.
- 4
Dredge each pork chop first in flour, shaking off excess. Then dip in the whisked eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, press into the panko-parmesan mixture, ensuring it's well coated on both sides.
- 5
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the coated pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- 6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (or place seared chops onto the prepared baking sheet if your skillet is not oven-safe). Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- 7
Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
