My dad comes for supper every week and we all like pork chops, so I fix them quite often. I found this recipe from The Kitchn on Pinterest and thought it was a nice change up from a basic baked pork. The panko bread crumbs give the chops a really nice crunch and the Italian seasoning really shines.
This is definitely going into the regular meal rotation!
3 tbsp. vegetable oil
3 bone-in pork chops
2/3 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1 heaping tbsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, spray with nonstick spray and set aside. In a shallow pan (I used a cake pan), combine the panko crumbs, Parmesan and Italian seasoning. In a second cake pan, lightly beat the eggs and set aside. Put the flour in a third pan. These will be your breading stations.
Season the chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dredge the chops in the flour, then the eggs, and then coat with the bread crumb mixture. Cook in the skillet for about 2 minutes on each side just to make a good crust.
Place the browned pork chops on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Allow the chops to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
