Chuletas de cerdo al horno empanadas al estilo italiano

Ingredientes

• 5 pork chops (thick cut 1- 1 1/2 inches (2 1/2 - 3.8 cm)
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano Romano (or Grana)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1-2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley chopped*
• 2 tablespoons olive oil for drizzling

Preparación

1. 1

   Pre heat oven to 375° (190°). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

2. 2

   On a large plate mix together the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt and parsley, coat the pork chops very well with the crumb mixture one at a time, place on prepared baking sheet, sprinkle lightly with salt (pinch) and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

3. 3

   Bake in pre heated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes**, halfway through baking turn the chops over, and sprinkle with any extra crumbs. In the last 5 minutes I raised the temperature to 390F/200C, for extra browning. Let the chops sit 3-5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
