Description

Succulent garlic parmesan pork chops combine savory herbs with tender meat for a restaurant-quality dinner. Crispy cheese coating and aromatic seasonings elevate this classic protein dish that home cooks will savor with delight.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1-inch thick)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) breadcrumbs (Panko preferred)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp paprika (optional)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tbsps olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Parsley (fresh, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper in a shallow mixing container to create a flavorful coating.
  2. Thoroughly season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
  3. Carefully press each pork chop into the Parmesan mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage.
  4. Heat olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium temperature.
  5. Carefully place coated pork chops into the hot skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust develops.
  6. Preheat oven to 400F (200C) while browning the meat.
  7. Transfer the entire skillet directly into the preheated oven, roasting for 8-10 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145F (63C).
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  9. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the pork chops for a vibrant finish before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure pork chops are at room temperature before cooking to promote even cooking and prevent dryness.
  • Pat the pork chops completely dry with paper towels to help the coating adhere better and create a crispier crust.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature precisely, avoiding overcooking which can make the meat tough and dry.
  • For a gluten-free version, replace breadcrumbs with almond flour or crushed pork rinds to maintain the crispy texture.
