Ingredients

4 bone-in pork chops about 1 inch thick
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a shallow bowl or dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix till combined.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Dredge each chop in the Parmesan mixture, pressing down gently to make sure it sticks.
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter’s melted and foamy place the pork chops in the skillet.
Sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes. Squeeze lemon juice on chops and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides or a green salad.

Notes

Preparation Tips - If possible, allow pork chops to come to room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before cooking. It helps cook the meat more evenly (no cold spots) and produces juicier meat.

Cooking Tips - Try not to overcook the chops - a little pink in the center is great! The USDA recommends cooking pork chops to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.

Recommended Tools - You'll need an oven-safe frying pan or skillet. I recommend using a cast-iron skillet.

Storage - Leftovers can be saved in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

Reheat - You can reheat in the microwave in 1-minute increments or in a 350-degree oven. I also find the chops good cold - we slice them and serve them on sandwiches.
