Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless pork chops, about 1-inch thick
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet and set it aside.
  2. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.
  3. Season both sides of each chop with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  4. Set up your breading station: In the first bowl, place 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the egg and Dijon mustard until smooth. In the third bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, paprika, and garlic powder. Drizzle the olive oil over the breadcrumb mixture and work it in with your fingers.
  5. Coat the pork chops: Dredge each chop in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, letting extra drip off. Press into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides.
  6. Place the coated chops on the wire rack in a single layer, spaced apart.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  8. Let the pork chops rest on the wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, use a wire rack to allow hot air to circulate for an all-over crispy crust. If you don’t have a wire rack, flip the chops halfway through baking. Let the chops rest for 5 minutes after baking to keep them juicy.
