Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork Chops (Bone-in or Boneless, about 1 inch thick) Bone-in for extra flavor and juiciness.
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese Pecorino Romano can be used for a sharper taste.
- 1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs Crunchy coating; regular bread crumbs can substitute if needed.
- 1 handful Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Thyme, and Rosemary) Fresh adds a lovely touch.
- 2 cloves Garlic (Minced) Substitute with garlic powder if needed.
- 1 piece Egg Can be skipped for a lighter version.
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Substitute with your preferred cooking oil.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan, panko bread crumbs, and finely chopped fresh herbs.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg with a tablespoon of water until frothy.
- Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel, then season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Press each chop into the Parmesan and panko mixture to coat both sides well.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Place the coated pork chops in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, let the chops rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Store uneaten pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Let them rest after cooking to keep them juicy.
