Crispy Italian Breaded Pork Chops Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1.5 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons dried parsley
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
• 4 pork chops

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and gather all ingredients for the breaded pork chops.
2. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a separate dish, combine Italian bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley.
3. Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until lightly golden to infuse the oil. Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon and set aside.
4. Dip each pork chop first into the egg mixture, then thoroughly coat with the bread crumb mixture, ensuring full coverage.
5. Carefully place the breaded pork chops in the hot skillet and cook for about 5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops are fully cooked. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
