Make tender, flavorful pork chops with a crispy parmesan crust. This easy oven-baked recipe delivers restaurant-quality results in under 30 minutes, perfect for a weeknight family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter, for pan sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced, for pan sauce
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth, for pan sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. This helps the crust adhere and promotes crispiness.
  3. Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes. In the first, place the flour mixed with salt and pepper. In the second, place the beaten egg. In the third, combine the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and oregano.
  4. Dredge each pork chop first in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then dip it into the egg, allowing any extra to drip off. Finally, press the chop firmly into the Parmesan mixture to coat both sides evenly.
  5. Place the coated pork chops on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the crust is golden brown. Cooking time depends on thickness.
  7. While the chops rest for 5 minutes, prepare the quick pan sauce. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  8. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until the sauce slightly reduces, about 1 minute.
  9. Serve the pork chops immediately with the warm garlic pan sauce drizzled over the top.

Notes

  • For extra juicy pork chops, use bone-in chops and increase the baking time by 3-5 minutes.
  • You can substitute breadcrumbs for half of the Parmesan cheese for a slightly different texture.
  • This recipe works well for boneless pork chops.
