Description

These easy baked pork chops with Parmesan breading are a welcome change from plain old pork, making them a great option for dinner any night of the week.

Ingredients

nonstick cooking spray
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 (5 ounce) boneless center-cut pork chops, 1/2-inch thick
1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking dish with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
2 Combine Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl.
3 Rub pork chops with olive oil and dip into Parmesan mixture. Press mixture into pork chops to make sure they are well coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until pork chops are no longer pink in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
