Equipment
- 1 small bowl
- 1 shallow dish
- 1 9x13 baking sheet
- measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops 1 inch thick
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1 egg
- 2/3 c. panko bread crumbs unseasoned
- 2 tsp. dried parsley flakes
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉ and line a 9x13 baking sheet. Set aside.
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk. In a shallow dish, combine the panko, parsley, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Dip the pork chops one at a time into the egg to coat on all sides. Then cover it on all sides with the panko mixture. Place each coated pork chop onto the 9x13 baking dish.
- Once all four chops are coated, lightly spray them with a mist of olive oil (or non-stick spray) to help the coating brown as it bakes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, only until 145℉ and cooked fully. Do not overcook.
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before cutting or serving.
