Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet
  • Instant Read Thermometer (I like Thermapen)

Ingredients

  • 4 Pork Chops Can be bone-in or boneless
  • Cup Shredded Parmesan
  • Cup Breadcrumbs Your choice, although I prefer gluten free Chickpea Bread Crumbs
  • ½ tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Water
  • 2 tbsp Cooking Oil Your choice, for searing the pork chops

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400.
  • Pat dry pork chops and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder and cayenne pepper in one shallow bowl, and whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water in another shallow bowl.
  • Dip each pork chop in the egg and let excess drip off, then dredge in the bread crumb mixture. Set aside.
  • Add oil to the cast iron skillet or deep frying pan on medium high heat. Saute the pork chops approximately 1-2 minutes on each side, until the breading is golden brown.
  • Place skillet in the oven and cook until the internal temperature on an instant read thermometer reads 145, approximately 7 minutes for thinner pork chops, up to 10-12 minutes for thick pork chops.

Notes

Cooking times will vary depending on the type of pork chops you use, and their thickness. I recommend getting thicker pork chops, as they tend to retain their juices better, and while bone-in pork chops tend to be a bit more flavorful, I still prefer boneless since they are easier to cut up and enjoy for a family with kids.
Thinner pork chops should only take about 7 minutes baking time, but should take no more than about 10-12 minutes for a thick chop. I highly recommend getting a quality instant read thermometer to cook up all different cuts of meat perfectly.
