Parmesan Pork Chops Ingredients
You’ll need:

- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 boneless pork chops, 1 inch thick

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
BONE-IN PORK CHOPS: The below instructions are for boneless pork chops, but you can also make this recipe with bone-in chops. Follow the same directions but bake them for longer. Depending on how thick your pork chops are, bake them for up to 45 to 50 minutes, until cooked through.
MAYO: This tasty twist adds mayo for a creamy base under the breadcrumbs. Before dipping your pork chops in breadcrumbs, spread mayo on each side. You’ll need 3 to 4 tablespoons of mayo.
BREAD CRUMBS: For added crunch in your crispy parmesan crust, you could use panko bread crumbs instead of Italian bread crumbs. If you only have plain bread crumbs, you could also make a homemade mix by adding Italian seasoning yourself.
How To Make This Parmesan Pork Chops Recipe
STEP ONE: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9×9-inch baking dish with foil.
PRO TIP:
Lining the pan with foil will make clean-up much easier.
STEP TWO: On a large plate or shallow dish, mix bread crumbs, seasonings, and parmesan cheese.
STEP THREE: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and then rub each one with olive oil.
STEP FOUR: Dip pork chops in the breadcrumb mixture on the plate one at a time. Press one side of the pork chop and then the other, making sure to fully cover each one.
STEP FIVE: Add the pork chops to the baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes.
PRO TIP:
The cooking time for your pork chops will vary depending on how thick they are. Use a meat thermometer to check that they are cooked through (internal temperature of at least 145°F).
