Description

A crunchy breading of rosemary and Parmesan cheese coats tender pork chops in this quick and easy main dish that's ready in just 35 minutes.

Ingredients

cooking spray
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
2 cups dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons dried rosemary
1 teaspoon ground paprika
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 (5 ounce) pork loin chops
1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a baking tray with cooking spray.
2 Put flour in a bowl. Beat egg in a second bowl. Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
3 Lightly salt pork chops. Coat both sides in flour, then in egg, then in bread crumb mixture. Place on the prepared baking tray.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes, turning after 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
