Parmesan Baked Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 4 boneless pork chops
• 1 egg
• 1 Tbsp water
• 1/3 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
• 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (I used freshly grated Parmesan)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/8 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried parsley flakes
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 Tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Spray a square baking dish with cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Whisk together egg and water in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, mix together bread crumbs, cheese, pepper, paprika, parsley, and garlic powder.

3. 3

   Dip the pork chops in the egg mixture, then in the breadcrumb mixture.

4. 4

   Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each side of the pork chops for about 2 minutes, or until golden brown.

5. 5

   Transfer the pork chops to the prepared pan. Bake at 350° for 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°.

6. 6

   To prevent the juices from running out, let the meat sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
