Ingredients
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2-3 tablespoons Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon paprika
- 4 boneless pork chops, (about ¾ inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix parmesan, breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic powder, pepper and paprika together in a shallow dish.
- Before dipping the pork chops in the egg mixture, pat them dry with a paper towel. This simple step ensures the breading sticks more effectively. Dip pork chops in the mixture (making sure the mixture sticks on both sides).
- Heat oil in a pn over medium-high heat until hot. Add pork chops and cook for 5 minutes on each side to sear.
- Transfer pork chops to a glass baking dish large enough to hold them with 1 inch of room around each chop (or, for crispier chops, bake on a greased wire rack over baking sheet).
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Brining. For even juicier pork chops, you can brine them in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar for 30 minutes before dipping them in the breadcrumb mixture and cooking. This step infuses the meat with moisture and flavor, making it even more tender.
- Bake without sautéing. Sautéing the spices and cheese into the pork chops infuses the flavor even more but if you're stretched for time you can skip right to baking:
- Air fryer pork chops. The temperature and length of time that the pork chop will need to cook will depend on the thickness and if it is boneless:
- Coating not sticking? If you find the breading doesn't stick well, try dipping the pork chops in a simple egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) before coating with the Parmesan mixture.
- Make ahead of time:
- How to store leftover parmesan crusted pork chops? Leftover baked pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, or wrapped tightly in plastic and foil and frozen for 3 months.
- For Quicker Cleanup. To skip the searing step, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place pork chops in a baking dish. Spread 1 teaspoon butter over each pork chop and coat with breacrumb and spice mixture. Bake as directed above.
- For a Thicker Crust. Whisk 1 egg with a little bit of milk. Dredge the chops in flour, then dip in the egg-milk mixture. Then continue on with Step 2-5 as directed.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Place pork chops in a baking pan. Spread 1 teaspoon of butter over each pork chop along with spices.
- Since you are not flash-frying them first, bake them a bit longer. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chops has reached 145°F (63°C) and the juices run clear.
- For a boneless chop, approximately ¾ inch thick, cook them at 380°F for 4-5 minutes.
- Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes. (Be sure to spray both sides of the chop with cooking spray before placing it in the air fryer basket.) For bone-in and/or thicker pork chops, increase the cooking time.
- Fridge. Coat the pork chops and place them on a platter. Cover with plastic wrap and keep them in the refrigerator for 1-2 days before cooking.
- Freezer. Wrap each pork chop with plastic wrap and place them together in a freezer Ziploc for up to 2 months. Unwrap and thaw on the counter for 20-30 minutes before frying and baking. Allow extra baking time if partially frozen.
