Baked Breaded Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 4 boneless pork chops
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1½ cup plain breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 1 olive oil spray

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Set up a breading station: one shallow dish with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Pat pork chops dry. Dredge each chop in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumb mixture.
4. Place breaded pork chops on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the chops with olive oil spray.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until internal temperature reaches 145 F (63 C) and breading is golden brown and crispy.
6. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
