Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together olive oil and melted butter to help the coating adhere.
  4. Pat each pork chop dry, coat with butter-oil mixture, and press into the coating blend.
  5. Place coated pork chops in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20–25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  6. Let the pork chops rest for about 5 minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

Thicker pork chops ensure juiciness. Let pork rest for better flavor retention. Broiling adds extra crunch. Leftovers are best when reheated in the oven.
