With less than 10 minutes of prep work, these Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops are simple, delicious and the best way to enjoy pork chops.
a family Favorite!
Pork chops have become a dinner time staple over the years. Both of our parents have made them for as long as we can remember, and now we can’t get enough of them!
Over the past decade, we have tried MANY ways to prepare our favorite pork dish, and we hit the JACKPOT with this juicy parmesan rendition 🙂 Coated in breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese, these perfect chops have quickly claimed the title of World’s Best Pork Chop Recipe.
Add them to your Sunday dinner menu alongside our Best Mashed Potatoes followed up with a slice of homemade Apple Pie, and you have the perfect meal!
WhY WE LOVE IT:
- Simple. This recipe only requires 10 minutes of prep time.
- Flavorful. With the different spices and searing of cheese on the outside, this recipe cannot be beat.
- Kid-Friendly. Even the kids like this recipe because the result is delicious, juicy pork chops. The kids love them even more with Mashed Potatoes and Roasted Vegetables.
Ingredients
PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: 30 minutes
- 4 boneless pork chops, (about ¾ inch thick) – Boneless pork chops come in various cuts, such as loin chops and shoulder chops. Loin chops are generally leaner and more tender, while shoulder chops are more flavorful but can be tougher.
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese – or Pecorino Romano or Asiago. The cheese needs to be finely grated to ensure it easily sticks to the pork chop.
- 2-3 tablespoons Italian breadcrumbs – We use Italian breadcrumbs because they are packed with flavor and finer in texture, allowing them to stick to the chops better, but Panko breadcrumbs can also be used in a pinch.
- ⅛ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil – or any oil with a high smoke point
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
How to Make Parmesan crusted Pork Chops
- SEASON. Mix ⅓ cup parmesan cheese, 2-3 tablespoons bread crumbs, ⅛ teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon parsley, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder and place on a plate.
- COAT. Before dipping the pork chops in the egg mixture, pat them dry with a paper towel. This simple step ensures the breading sticks more effectively. Dip pork chops in the mixture (making sure the mixture sticks).
- SEAR. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and then place the breaded pork chops in the pan. Sear each side for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
- BAKE. Place pork chops in a glass baking dish (making sure to leave 1 inch around each chop) and cook according to thickness. NOTE: For crispier pork chops, bake on a greased wire rack over a baking sheet.
- Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. This ensures the meat stays tender and juicy, avoiding overcooking which can lead to dryness.
- To make sure the pork chop temp is correct, we use a meat thermometer.
- SERVE your Parmesan-Crusted Pork Chops with a fresh Arugula Salad or Roasted Vegetables for a complete, easy dinner. You can even add a squeeze of lemon juice for a bright, tangy finish.
PRO TIP: Brining
For even juicier pork chops, you can brine them in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar for 30 minutes before dipping them in the breadcrumb mixture and cooking. This step infuses the meat with moisture and flavor, making it even more tender.
Cooking Variations
Bake without sautéing. Sautéing the spices and cheese into the pork chops infuses the flavor even more but if you’re stretched for time you can skip right to baking:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Place pork chops in a baking pan. Spread 1 teaspoon of butter over each pork chop along with spices.
- Since you are not flash-frying them first, bake them a bit longer. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chops has reached 145°F (63°C) and the juices run clear.
Air fryer pork chops. The temperature and length of time that the pork chop will need to cook will depend on the thickness and if it is boneless:
- For a boneless chop, approximately ¾ inch thick, cook them at 380°F for 4-5 minutes.
- Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes. (Be sure to spray both sides of the chop with cooking spray before placing it in the air fryer basket.) For bone-in and/or thicker pork chops, increase the cooking time.

Equipment
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2-3 tablespoons Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon paprika
- 4 boneless pork chops, (about ¾ inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Mix parmesan, breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic powder, pepper, and paprika in a shallow dish.
- Before dipping the pork chops in the egg mixture, pat them dry with a paper towel. This simple step ensures the breading sticks more effectively. Dip pork chops in the mixture (making sure the mixture sticks on both sides).
- Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add pork chops and cook for 5 minutes on each side to sear.
- Transfer pork chops to a glass baking dish large enough to hold them with 1 inch of room around each chop (or, for crispier chops, bake on a greased wire rack over a baking sheet).
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Video
Notes
- For even juicier tender pork chops, you can brine them in a mixture of 4 cups water, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar for 30 minutes before coating them.
- Searing the pork chops infuses the flavor on the chops, but if you’re stretched for time you can place the coated chops straight into the baking pan and drizzle the olive oil (or use butter) on top before baking.
- For an extra thick crust, dredge in the egg mixture and breadcrumbs twice.
- If you are using thinner pork chops, searing may be sufficient to cook them all the way through without baking.
- Use finely grated parmesan, as shredded parmesan tends to burn while being seared.

Recipe FAQ
If you find the breading doesn’t stick well, try dipping the pork chops in a simple egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) before coating with the Parmesan mixture.
Allow the pork chops to come to room temperature before cooking.
Use a cast iron skillet or another heavy-bottomed pan. This will help the chops fry evenly.
Sauté the chops on medium heat but adjust as necessary so the crust doesn’t burn.
Let the cooked pork chops rest before cutting. Resting allows the center to finish cooking to a perfect 145°F as well as distribute all the moisture evenly through the chop
Totally up to you! We prefer boneless chops as they cook faster and are easier to cut. If using bone-in pork chops, allow them to bake 10-20% longer to ensure they are cooked all the way through.
Fridge. Coat the pork chops and place them on a platter. Cover with plastic wrap and keep them in the refrigerator for 1-2 days before cooking.
Freezer. Wrap each pork chop with plastic wrap and place them together in a freezer Ziploc for up to 2 months. Unwrap and thaw on the counter for 20-30 minutes before frying and baking. Allow extra baking time if partially frozen.
Leftover baked pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, or wrapped tightly in plastic and foil and frozen for 3 months.
What egg mixture?
the parmesan is just sticking to the pan.
This is a much smarter choice than my typical fried pork chops. A quick sear and bake seems so much healthier than the fried with gravy I usually do. And with the parm, it looks very tasty.

Had these last night and the recipe will be a keeper. So good!
This recipe was easy to make and very good!
Thanks for sharing.
Made these tonight and they were the most juicy chops I’ve ever cooked. I followed the recipe as written using three very thick boneless chops and cooked them in a heavy duty skillet that went from stovetop to oven. The only change I will make next time is to use more seasoning and a wire rack if I’m in the mood for extra dishes to do🤓
Hi Nettie
I read your review & wanted to ask you what you meant about this comment. ? the only change I will make next time is to use more seasoning & a wire rack , questioning the wire rack comment. How would you do this ? I love chops & always find them a little dry & for that reason my husband doesn’t really like to cook them much. So if this way of cooking them would help to prevent the dryness, I would love to try it. Can you respond also to my email so I will see it when you post.
Thanks
Jan Butler
GREAT RECIPE -GREAT FLAVOR -EASY TO MAKE- EXCELLENT RECIPE- THANKS
Tripled this recipe for a family dinner. Costed the chops (after brining them) with mayo so the coating would stick!
They were delicious! Definitely investing in a baking rack for next time!
Excellent taste! I should have read the reviews first because the cheese mixture did not stick to the chops and next time I will dip them in a beaten egg first.
Thanks for the feedback and for giving the recipe a try!
It was great, of course i had local farmer quality chops but the seasonings, tenderness and flavor throughout the meat as great. I followed the suggestion to have chops at room temp and sear in a heavy pan (used cast iron). I did not bake on a rack but in a heavy pan and even pulled it at 155 F out of oven and it was perfect. Time does fly. And for those who dont do eggs or dont want a heavy batter on their good meat this is the perfect recipe. Thanks:)
You’re welcome!! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!
I don’t think very much of the mixture stuck to the pork chops, they turned out nicely cooked but not a lot of flavor. Will try coating in egg next time.
Thanks for the review and feedback and for giving the recipe a try!
Can this dish be frozen after the searing step? I’d like to make it for someone for a meal train but am trying to keep them from doing extra steps – just thaw and put in the oven. Or would it be better to skip the searing and just prepare it for them to bake only?
If I were doing it, I would probably just prepare for baking only (instructions are in the post for that). You can try searing, then cooling in the fridge then freeze. I haven’t tried, so I don’t know exactly how the texture would be… you can let us know how it turns out if you do. But again, I’d probably just prepare for baking if you are planning on freezing and giving away.
One of the best pan pork chops I have made in a long time. They were delicious and moist with crispy crust just like you said
This recipe is one easy and looks delicious! Pork is “the other white meat” and these pork chops are lean. Everyone loves Parmesan cheese, so the coating of cheese and breadcrumbs on will add substantial flavor and a nice finish. Additionally, they be prepared quickly so they would be an awesome weeknight meal for the family. There are many sides that would be a great match for the pork chops. To add to the weekly meal rotation…just change the side dishes each week. Tender and flavorful, looks delicious!
Going to try. Wish me luck
Hope you enjoyed!!
Very good, 5 star. Fixed the according to recipe except I did them on my Blackstone grill. Best pork chops we’ve ever had!
Great!
Excellent! I used smoked Paprika & dipped chops in beaten egg before crumb mixture, breading stayed on good.
When searing, olive oil gets a bit smokey, but watched closely because i used thin chops that I also beat to tenderize, so didn’t take full 5 minutes per side… Did do 350° for 15 minutes…my Husband loved them said better than air fryer recipe that he thought was his favorite.
Thanks for sharing!! I’m so glad the pork chops are a new favorite for your husband too! 🙂
delish and easy!
Delicious, I used my airfryer and put the olive oil on before dredging it in the cheese and spices. I set it on 325 degrees and baked for about 12 minutes. The chops were extra thick so I went that way. Yummy ! Thanks.
You’re welcome! Thanks for sharing how you cooked these.
I fried the pork chops and they tasted good. Mine were thinner than the video showed, so I did not bake them. However, the fact that I had all the ingredients at home was a blessing. Thank you for sharing.
Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops came out so tender and tasty. Will definitely be making them again. Thank you for this recipe!
This is so easy to make and so delicious. My family keeps asking me to make it for them!!! Highly recommend!!
We didn’t like it, sorry. It barely had flavor and I think cooking it for 10 minutes then also baking it for 15 minutes is too long.
Loved the parmesan crusted pork chops. Will be making these again.
This site hides the recipe and fill the pages with click bait adds that slow my iPad to a crawl.
Try using the jump to recipe lmao. I know, the majority are set up that way. Pls check the ” Jump to Recipe ” hope that helps. Have to say, I find it informative with informative on cooking process. The other alternative is Tik-Tok.
The recipe was amazing and the pork chops turned out so delicious! Definitely one worth saving!
All the park burned onto to the skillet
So sorry to hear that! Perhaps the temp was too high? You can dry the meat off too before dipping in breading… that may help it stay on the meat a bit better.
Tried it and loved it, especially with sauteed mushrooms.
These were very good and tasty!
Will make again.
.These were so easy ! I already had all ingredients in the house !
Took way way to long to get to recipe! .
Try using the jump to recipe lmao.
Operator error,lol.
These were the BEST pork chops I have ever made. Moist and flavourful. I will search no more for pork chops recipes!
Best pork chop recipe! My husband and I loved them! So juicy! Will definitely make them again.
These pork chops were SO juicy! I went back for seconds! Absolutely wonderful recipe! Thanks for sharing!
These pork chops are absolutely amazing! My family loved this so much! Thanks for sharing!
Such a staple in our home! The kids request this meal often! Thank you for the recipe.
You’re welcome! I’m glad to hear the pork chops are a family favorite!
Very tasty and my husband also loved them. I did use my air fryer instead of searing in the skillet and baking in the oven. I didn’t have any bread crumbs so used Panko with Italian seasoning & some salt instead. They came out crispy, juicy, and just at 145 degrees according to my meat thermometer. I preheated the air fryer to 400 degrees and sprayed both sides of the chops with cooking spray. When hot, I cooked them for 13 minutes (2 at a time), turning once halfway through. Will definitely make again. I’m trying to lose some weight so I’m thinking/hoping that cut down on the fat content a little by not searing in oil in a skillet. Will definitely make these again.
Thanks for sharing what you did! I’m so glad you enjoyed the pork chops!
We make these on the regular. They are juicy and flavored perfectly!
This recipe really does only take 10-15 minutes of prepping, although it tastes like a fancy meal I spent hours on! We’re not huge fans of pork chops in our family, but when we do eat them, it’s this recipe!!
Easy recipe – perfect for our busy weeknight dinners! Love the crispy Parmesan coating!
So juicy and flavorful! Easy and quick to make too. Great recipe!!
The crispy cheese! This is so good. Definitely a hit.
Not only are these pork chops delicious but they are so easy! I love it when recipes are both easy and tasty. It’s a win-win!
Loved this recipe. My daughter does not like pork,but she ate all of it. Thank you!
Super easy! Everyone loved them!
Yay! I’m so glad to hear that!
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing parmesan crusted pork chops recipe! Will surely have this again! It’s really easy to make and it tasted so delicious! Highly recommended!
You’re welcome!! So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
I had forgotten how yummy these are. I don’t make them nearly enough, but when I do everyone seems to enjoy them. So flavorful and I love the parmesan crust!
My family loves this recipe! 2nd time making I dipped in egg prior to breadcrumbs, this helped the breadcrumb mixture stay in even better.
Do you have suggestions for searing then air-frying vs oven?
I haven’t tried these ones in the air-fryer yet, but that’s a great idea. They are so versatile when it comes to the method of cooking. If you are searing then baking in the oven, sear each side until crispy and then we just throw in the oven until the internal temp reaches 145, just to make sure they are cooked through. You can also cook in the oven without searing first… Just add 1 Tbsp butter and spices on each pork chop then bake at 350 for about 25 minutes.
Our favorite pork chop recipe. We make it almost once a month!
This recipe is super easy and so flavorful! The pork chops always come out really moist and tender too.
I have been making this recipe for years now. It is absolutely wonderful. I often substitute the pork with chicken and serve with my Italian dishes.
Yay! I’m so glad this recipe has become a favorite. Thanks for sharing!
It was OK,, however, all the crust came off when it was in the frying pan. There wasn’t much of it or much taste to the pork chops when I took them out of the oven. How do you keep the crust on it when in the frying pan?Thanks
I’d say to make sure that there is enough oil and that it has heated up enough before putting the pork chops in the pan. The less you turn them and touch the breading with tongs, the better chance it will stay on the pork too.
Very good and easy to make, didn’t change a thing except baked them in toaster oven which was nice as it didn’t heat up the kitchen. Recipe is a keeper.
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
I will be back to do a rating, I’m going to make this for dinner tonight and it sounds easy enough for me to be able to cook. My husband just had an arterial bypass surgery in his leg so he’s unable to walk very well, and I have PPMS which is primary progressive Multiple sclerosis the worst to have! God has given me the strength to be able to do things I’ve not been able to do in years! So I will definitely let you know if it’s good & easy LOL,! Thank you for putting this on Pinterest!
Thanks for sharing, Sherry! Prayers for both you and your husband. I hope the pork chops were easy enough to make and delicious!!
Easy to make and result well received. Served with mashed sweet potatoes and mango applesauce.
That sounds so yummy. Mango applesauce sounds like an amazing side to the pork chops. So glad to hear you liked them!
Can you use chicken breast
Yes, you certainly could! Just make sure that the internal temperature of the cooked chicken is 165 degrees.
I made the recipe tonight . It was delicious. I will add to my dinner choices .
I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for trying it!
So easy and delicious my family loves it! A must try!!
Thank you for saying that!
I think this probably would be delicious so long as you use the cheap parmesan in the can and not actual grated parmesan cheese. I would also recommend precooking at medium heat for about half the time listed. I used grated parmesan and cooked at medium heat for 2-3 minutes and my coating (the cheese) burned. I ruined two completely beautiful pork chops. I will try again with cheap parmesan in the can. I’ve made something similar with chicken and it was delicious.
Easy to follow directions and my family absolutely LOVED them!!!! Delicious! Amazing Recipe!
So happy you think so 🙂 Thank you so much!
One of our favorite family dinners. Quick and easy for weeknights too!
We love pork chops at our house and the crispy coating on these is perfect!
Love this recipe! One of the only ways I serve pork chops now!
This recipe is fanTastic, pork chops turned crispy and juicy!
Yay! Glad you think so 🙂 Thank you!
If i make pork chops this is My go to rEcipe. It quick and easY! Recently i started using garlic and herb bread crumbs instead of italian bread crumbs and its amazing!
Glad it’s your go-to!! Thank you for letting me know that!
I don’t make pork chops very often, but when I do I will definitely be making these ones again. Love the parmesan coating!
I don’t think I could a pork chop without dipping it in breadcrumbs anymore! It adds a delicious crunch & flavor!
The breadcrumb mixture was great. I dipped in egg first just to make sure it stuck well, and I had very thin pork chops so I didn’t even need to throw them in the oven. I just pan-seared for a few minutes on each side and checked the temp as I went. Really tasty simple week night meal.
That works too 🙂 Thanks for sharing that!
They were delicious. Not over cooked .
Yay! Happy you think so 🙂 Thank you!
i have tried this recipe before and they were delicious. I was thinking about making them again tonight but in the air fryer. do you think they will cook ok?
I am sure they will, though I personally haven’t tried. Let me know what you think! Thanks!
I grew up on pork chops. It was always a Treat to have them. These are so tAsty and so much better than what I had. I really like the crust on these.
They are a treat! Thank you so much for sharing that!
Yum! Can’t wait to make these.
I hope you do. They are my favorite!
Im pretty new to cooking but i was able to pull this recipe off tonight! The pork chops came out perfect and moist! My boyfriend is asking when im making this again. Ive tried several recipes from this site ans theyre all hits! Thank you for the freat recipe!!

Glad you found my site!! I hope you like these pork chops, as much as we do! Thank you!
So easy and delicious!
I cant wait to make these! will this RECIPE work for thin top loin chops? just bake for less time?
Yes, it will work 🙂 Yes, less time, but I don’t have an exact time, since I have not tried.
Well, in my house with my two big guys it’s kinda not hard to make something that they won’t like but when I made these chops the only sad face was that their wasn’t enough for leftovers.
Thank you so much lil Luna, porkcops in my house have never been so good & juicy, i DEFIANTly will be making this recipe again
Melissa Carson
You are so welcome!! I am so glad to hear that!! Thank you so much!
Just bought an airfryer, anyone tried this in there? Just wondering time/temp
I personally haven’t, but want to try!
We love them!! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thank you for letting me know that & trying them!
I think THe recipe says 350 degrees for 20-25 min for regular chops after searing. But many comments say that they used 300 degrees for an hour. I apologize for being confused. Any help in clarifying this is appreciated. These chops sound wonderful, but i don’t want to ruin them. Thanks!
I did the 350 for 25 min. As long, as the internal temp reaches 145 degrees F, you could do the 300 for longer 🙂
I made these tonight, and my family loved them. My kids both wanted more, which I thought was quite exciting. They rarely both love something I cook. Ha! I will definitely make these again.
Yay! Love when I find a recipe that everyone likes! Thank you!
Very tasty. I tendorized the chops becauase they were a little think. I used panko crumbs and italian seasoning. I seared them in a cast orin grill pan before baking.
Sounds perfect!! Thank you for sharing!
i MADE THESE TONIGHT and they were awesome! sO TENDER AND TASTY!
So, glad you liked them!! Thank you so much for trying them!
Made this for my family. Husband & kids all enjoyed it. I SAUTEED beginning to end (no baking) Because my pork was thin and cooked quickly. The family compared it to a parm/garlic version of Schnitzel. It was delish and I served it With mashed cauliflower w/ a little sour cream, a little butter, chives & a sprinkle of bacon pieces.
It came in At 376 calories for the entire dinner!!…..Will definitely make this again.
Sounds great!! Thank you for sharing that 🙂

I grew up on pork chops. It was always a Treat to have them. These are so tAsty and so much better than what I had. I really like the crust on these.
It looks very tasty when it’s cooked right and makes you hungry
I don’t have a lot of pork chop recipes and I usually just end up BBQing them. This recipe was an easy delicious alternative. My family has been asking when I can make them again.
You didn’t say when to use the pepper. I assumed it was with the other spices, but for insecure/hesitant cooks like myself, maybe add it to step 1 for posterity’s sake LOL. Thank you! In the oven soon, I’m sure it’s awesome!
I added it, sorry 😉 Yes, add it with the other spices. Hope you liked it!
I’m not the hugest fan of pork chops, but I tried them, since my hubby loves them & I was pleasantly surprised. The parmesan & breadcrumbs added such a nice crunch & flavor. I am now a fan of them!
I made these twice and they are delicious! I highly recommend them! Many times boneless pork chops are overcooked and dry but these come out perfect every time 🙂
I am so glad you think so 🙂 Thank you for the rating!
Adding parmesan to the pork chops makes them extra yummy! This is a go-to recipe for us anytime we need a quick dinner.
I agree!! I am so glad it is a go-to! It is for us too! Thank you so much!!
Another WINNER recipe that is crazy easy & deliciously yummy! Move over shake & bake —>Lil Luna does it again. Another family winner & is on the menu again for this week!
Awe, you are too sweet!! Thank you so much for saying that!!
I love this recipe. Super easy and full of flavor! Definitely a keeper!
That is why we love it!! Thank you for the rating 🙂
So I’m making this for dinner and as I type this they are in the oven in a metal dish. I don’t own a glass one (need to get on that ????????♀️) anyways I upped the temp to 375…. What do you think? 20mins at 375??
You will just need to check them at that 20 mark & go from there. The internal temp needs to be 145 degrees Fahrenheit. I use my meat thermometer all the time, because I get paranoid about it not being done. You will probably need to add more time.
I’m going to try these lilLuna pork chops tonight for dinner hope they turn out perfect.
I hope they did!! Thanks for trying them!
I made these twice and they are delicious! I highly recommend them! Many times boneless pork chops are overcooked and dry but these come out perfect every time:)

Yay!! I am glad to share 🙂 Thank you for letting me know!
I made these tonight and they were INCREDIBLE! The searing really helped keep the pork tender and moist. I usually almost always overcook my pork. This will be my new favorite pork chop recipe. thank you!
I love to hear that!! Thank you for letting me know 🙂
HI kristyn. Myy name is Darlene,I have a nuwave. Oven .I am going to try your ingredients. Instead of in the skillet put it in the nuwave oven.
I’d love to know what you think! Hope you like them!
I. Have done this recipe for years, would,not make them any other way. A friend made these for me about 45 years ago and I have not wavered the recipe except to cook then in 1/2 stick butter in oven, they stay juicy yet crispy.
We love it! I can’t imagine them any other way, either!
I have been a vegetarian since the age of 13 and have very little experience cooking meat and find it quite intimidating. This was my first time cooking pork and I’m happy to report that it received great feedback. The recipe was very simple and easy to follow and both my significant other and son said it was great!
Yay!! Way to go! I am so glad they both liked it! Thanks for sharing!
I made these for dinner tonight and they were delicious! I did spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the pork chops before dredging in the crumb/parmesan mixture. My son loved them too!
Great idea. Thank you for sharing! I will have to try!
Make this recipe but used gluten free bread crumbs, also added olive oil in baking pan cooked 45 min. it was perfect
Thank you for sharing what you did! I am so happy you liked them!
Ok, so I have eaten this several times now and I I have to admit I wasn’t that big of a pork chop fan previously… This is a great way to prepare pork chops!
I thought this was supposed to be air fried???jo
It can be for sure 🙂 Let me know what you think!
Making these tonight in the air fryer. Delish!
So, what did you think? I hope you liked them!
Thank you for this amazing looking recipe! I cannot wait to make it!
You are so welcome!! I hope you like it! Thank you for stopping by!
My husband and son loved it.Thanks for sharing!
I’m so happy they did! Thank you for letting me know!
I just made these tonight and they were so yummy….baked for about 15-20 minutes after searing….so juicy….loved them
Yay!! Love to hear that!
My family loved them… Thanks for recipe.
You are so welcome! Thank you for trying them!!
It looks so good! I feel so hungry looking at the photos. Thank you for the recipe! Gonna try it for dinner today.
LOL!! What did you think? I hope everyone loved it!
I made the lovely Parmesan-crusted pork chops for dinner tonight. They turned out perfectly. Moist and delicious. Very good meal to present to my hard working husband.
Great!! I hope he liked them! Thank you for trying them!
Hey Lil’Luna fans… I went off recipe and made these pork chops bone-in after reading so many other reviewer posts who had as well. It’s what I had. I drenched them in the seasoned breading and baked them. They were great the first time! I got an answer to my question about when the pepper gets added (in the dry mix,) as I thought. I had one of the baked pork chops left over, soooo I did the opposite of the delicious recipe and browned the (SLIGHTLY micro-warmed) chop in the olive oil on both sides… and it came out awesyum!!
Thanks so much for sharing 🙂 I’m glad you like them!
This recipe calls for pepper but the directions don’t say where to add it… I’m assuming it’s to season the chops, but they are already being seasoned with the breading mix. (I put a pinch into the mix.) I seriously don’t want to sound snarky or stupid! I live rurally with satellite internet and cannot watch the video portion of the recipe right now. I’m sure this is going to be delish! I’ve used your recipes before and I’m a fan!
Yes, sorry, you would add it in step 1 with the other dry ingredients. Thanks so much & hope you like them!
Made this tonight, I used almond meal instead of bread crumbs. It was delicious! Will definitely make again
Great idea! I am happy that you will make it again 🙂 Thank you so much!
Thank you for the wonderful recipe. By far the best pork chops I ever prepared. I actually starting off my softening them with a meat tenderizer, which did wonders for absorbing the dry rub (also cut down on the baking time).
Thank you so much for sharing!!
Found ya on Pinterest. I make a similar recipe with bone in chops asiago cheese the same seasonings plus salt just cooked on the stove. This looks good too. Lol I love your pics. Looks like I need to try out regular good ol parmesan cheese.
Thank you 🙂 Glad you found me!
Tried 2 meals so far and they were very good repeating another one today for my dinner
Thank you so much for giving my recipes a try! Happy you liked them!
These pork chops have gone into our regular dinner rotation,they are AMAZING!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!
I’m so glad! We love them, too! Thanks so much for letting me know!
You said 1/4 tsp pepper In the ingredients but didn’t specify In instructions.
Oops, add it in the first step, with the mixture 🙂 I’ll have to add that. Thank you!
Love the parm crusted pork chop recipe!!! Thank u!!
So, do we! I’m glad you liked it! Thank you for trying it!
These are delicious! Thanks so much for sharing this!
You are so welcome! Thank you!! 🙂
OMG made the pork chops and will definitely make again. Best baked pork chops ever. A most try for everyone.
Yay!! Glad you think so! Thanks so much!
I made these wth thick-cut bone-in chops, dipped in beaten egg before pressing in the crumb mixture (used panko and added my own seasonings). Searing on each side in a cast-iron skillet seems to be the way to go. It took 3 minutes on each side for a nice, dark brown sear, then the skillet went directly into the oven for 40 minutes. Turned out perfectly. An hour would have rendered these to the texture of shoe leather, and the egg is not only necessary to keep the crumbs on the surface of the chops but it also keep moisture in as well. Very good chops, will make again!
Thank you so much for sharing what you changed. Glad you liked them!
I made 5 pork chops. I dipped my pork chops in egg before I dipped into my mixture. Being that I used 5 pork chops I added more of each ingredient. I also added a packet of hidden valley ranch seasoning. My pork chops were about a half an inch thick. I pan seared them for a minute on each side using olive oil and butter. I sprayed my glass dish before I put my pork chops on it so it wouldn’t stick to the bottom of the dish. I cooked them for a half hour on 350. They were very crunchy and tender! The ranch added lots of flavor. I will definitely make this again and I suggest everyone to try it out!! It’s a keeper!! My sides were sliced carrots with butter and loaded mashed potatoes which only added to the pork chops! Give it a try!! Trust me you won’t be disappointed!!????
Thanks so much for sharing, Amanda!! That sounds perfect! I am so glad you liked them!
Thank you for sharing this recipe! I made it tonight and even my super-picky 8 year old liked it! Adding it to my rotation! It went well with roasted potatoes, onions, and garlic.
Only thing I did different was bake at 350 for only ten minutes because my boneless pork chops were on the thin side.
Yay!! Love hearing that! Thank you so much for sharing!
Covered or uncovered to bake?
Uncovered 🙂 Thank you!
I’ve made these several times and they are always yummy. Tonight I’m going to try them in the air fryer.
How did they turn out? Thank you for trying them and letting me know. So, glad you like them!
They were fantastic! The air fryer cut out the use of olive oil and only took 22 minutes to cook. I cooked them at 380* 10 minutes on one side and 12 minutes on the second side. Yummy!
Thanks so much for sharing that!! Sounds like they were perfect!
Made your pork chops and they were great, juicy and the garlic and Parmasan cheese was excellent. Thank you for the recipe.
Kelly Loykasek
Awe, thank you!! I love hearing that! I am so glad you liked them!
Sadly my comment will not be praising this recipe like many of the others. I followed this recipe and by baking them they ended up coming out soggy instead of having a crunchy outer coating. I don’t know what I could have done wrong. But I am disappointed . I should have just cooked them in the skillet and never put them in the oven.
I’m sorry that they turned out soggy. I can’t think of why that would have happened? Thanks for trying them though!
I made these tonight. They were awesome, but the next time I make them I will add more salt and cheese. I was looking for them to be a little more cheesy. I recommend only keeping them in oven for only 15mins so they are not dry. My family loved them… Thanks for recipe.
Thank you for giving them a try and letting me know!
These are delicious! I’ve made these twice and they are SO good! The first time, I rushed and the pork chops were slightly underdone (not super pink, but still a little tough.) The second time, they were perfect! So flavorful, so tender….my fiance absolutely loves them! I can’t wait to make them again!
Oh, perfect! Thanks so much for trying them and I’m glad they turned out the second time!
Well my chops are done and I must say they are so tender and juicy. I followed the instructions exactly as written but also seasoned the chops with a little garlic and pepper (old habit) and they turned out great (Wish I could post a picture). Of course I had to sample a little piece right away. Mmmm mmmm good. Quick and easy recipe. Thanks for sharing.
So I just put the chops in the oven. But I’m wondering if the time will dry them out. I have 1 in thick chops and after cooking them in the pan they look like they are nearly done. Will come back later with my result.
P.S. They have my whole house smelling delicious! Can’t wait!
My husband and son loved it. Adjusted cook time based on comments. Cut down sear time and cooked at 400 to coincide with Mac and Cheese in oven. Meat thermometer worked like a charm. I will definitely make again.
Perfect 🙂 Thank you so much for letting me know!
Amazing recipe. Picky husband & kids LOVED it. Thanks!
Great 🙂 Thanks so much for letting me know and thank you for giving it a try!
Made the Parmesan crusted pork chops, with a couple of changes. Panko bread crumbs, and broiled tomato caprise on top of each. (Fresh mozzarella, large tomato slice and fresh basil, a touch more Parmesan on top. Excellent!
That sounds great! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I just made these pork chops tonight. I had thin cut, boneless pork chops, so I adjusted the cook time to less time both in the pan and in the oven. I used panko crumbs (that’s all I had). They turned out fabulous!! I don’t really cook a whole lot, so I was pleasantly surprised that something I cooked – that was THAT easy to make – tasted so good! Tender, and just right! Thank you for helping my family have a home cooked meal tonight!!
That makes me so happy to hear!!! I’m glad I could help 🙂 And, I bet you could do more than you think 🙂
so glad I kept reading, I also have Panko crumbs & was going to use. It’s what I’m making tonight! Thanks
can this be done with bone in chops?
I haven’t tried, but I don’t see why not. Let me know how they come out! Thank you 🙂
I would suggest searing the pork on a much lower temp. I did the lower end of medium high and after 4 min my pork chops were almost black and once I flipped them they turned black in 1 minute. I am sure the recipe is great if not burnt.
I’m sorry yours burnt. I haven’t had a problem with this recipe before. I know to some an hour seems long, but really they are perfect.
My issue was not in the oven time, I agree an hour is perfect. I was suggesting people change the temp/time for the part on the stove top. Mine burned at medium high very quickly. I was able to scrape it off and re season them, and they came out great!
Oh, I got it. Sorry 🙂 Yes, if that’s too high, definitely lower it. Thank you!!
Stoves vary mine are in the oven now..cant wait. Thanks lil Luna
These were great! I didn’t end up pan searing the pork chops I just put them straight in the oven at 400 degrees, turned them over after 20 minutes and cooked for another 20. Sooo yummy! Will definitely be cooking again and again. Thanks for the recipe!
SO happy that you liked them!! Thank you for letting me know and for giving them a try!!
At what temperature do you bake the Parmesan Pork Chops? Also, I wonder if sauteing the chops that had been dipped in Parmesan isn’t a bit too messy… Wouldn’t it be better to just bake them?
It isn’t too messy 🙂 It’s 300 degree for 15-20 minutes. Hope that helps!! Thank you!
Great recipe but I would not bake them for one hour as, in my opinion, a one inch pork chop would be way overdone. I have made these countless number of times and just brown them on the stove and cook until done to approximately 145 degrees and no higher. Only takes a few minutes and don’t even need to use the oven. I think folks tend to cook the heck out of a pork leaving it tough and way overdone.
I thought I would leave a comment telling you how much I enjoy these pork chops. I have been making them now for about a year whenever I want baked pork chops. We love them!! Thank you!
You’re so sweet!! Thanks so much for sharing that with me and making them!!
Made this for dinner. Was excellent & wl do again. Only thing I changed was that I did not Sear the chops so did not use any oil. I put them straight to the even. Thanks for sharing!!!
I am so glad you liked it!! I’ll have to try the change you made. I love recipes that you can change up!! Thank you!
I made these tonight and they were very good going exactly by the recipe. Next time I’ll use an egg to keep the coating on better. Also will take less time to sear. The cheese tends to brown easily. I’ve been looking for a new pork chop recipe and glad I found it on Skiptomylou. Thx!
I am so glad you liked this recipe! It sure is delish!! Any tricks to keep the coating on better, I’m sure would make it even better. Keep enjoying!!
We don’t have a recipe really. my grandmother use to put cabbage in a baking dish and lay pork chops on top of cabbage and bake in oven. So good. the juices from the chops seasons the cabbage so good.
Oh, I bet that made the cabbage delish!! Good idea:)
My family loves these!! Best chops recipe I have had in a long time! Second time in the past week we are making them! They are just delicious thank you!!!
LOL!! They are pretty delicious!!! Glad you all like them!!
Made these last night. They were the best pork chops my husband & I have ever had! Stuck to the recipe with these exceptions: Didn’t have Italian breadcrumbs (or any breadcrumbs) so had in the freezer left over crispy french bread appetizer crostinis. Crushed them and added onion powder, basil & oregano to that & I had my Italian breadcrumbs! Seared only 2 minutes each side, based on reviews (had 1 inch, bone in chops), baked 55 minutes on lower oven shelf. We very seldom eat any kind of red meat so chose this recipe hoping for a real, rare treat. Honestly the best, the most moist chops ever!
Thank you so much for sharing!! I love how you improvised!! Makes me happy that you and your hubby enjoyed them!!
These look awesome, do you think grilling them would be a good option?
I’m sure they’d taste great on the grill! If you do, let me know how they turn out, so we can try that next time!
I made these last night with bone in chops and the powdered Parmesan from a jar.
It worked out really well. I thought it needed a pinch more salt, but I would definitely make them again. Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks for trying this recipe!! It is so good! And, thanks for letting me know!
I have found out if you rub some mustard lightly over the pork chops first they come out very tender
Thanks for sharing that tip!! I’ll have to try that next time:)
I made these and they were delicious! I did it with bone in chops, and lost a lot of meat that way So will definitely do boneless next time! I’ll probably also sear for a few minutes less. How can I do this recipe with boneless/skinless chicken breast? Same exact way? Coat, sear, bake?
I love using boneless for that reason. You could coat the chicken in the mixture and sear or until cooked through or bake. I have’t tried it with the chicken, so I’ll have to experiment:)
Are you supposed to dip in egg first. I can’t imagine it sticking that well. I’m making these tonight ….
Thanks ????
They actually stick just fine without the egg but using an egg works too. 😉
Made these tonight and they were delicious! I have celiac and am lactose intolerant so I used fresh lactose free parmesan and I didn’t have any GF bread to make breadcrumbs but I had some GF cornbread muffins. So I grated up a muffin to mix with the cheese and hoped for the best. Turned out great!!
Do you use fresh parmesan cheese or grated from a bottle in your Parmesan Pork Chop recipe? Thank you
Grated Parmesan Cheese. 😉
These came out so juicy, flavorful just perfect. I have always stayed away from pork chops cus I never knew how to make them. This recipe is a keeper. The family loved them also.
I’m so glad you liked them Annie. I was the same way until I came upon this recipe. Now we have Pork Chops all the time! ;D
Yum – nice chop recipe. Thank you and have a great weekend.
Hope the kids are better, Kristyn.
I just made this for the family tonight (which includes 3 kids) and Everyone loved it!!! Thank you so much for the recipe, definitely a keeper : )
Great combo! I have also tried with other finely shredded cheese, just allowing it to dry for a few hours. Since we like more spice, I, too pre-season my chops with either salt or some other light rub (like a greek seasoning mix, etc.) and my husband thinks they get more crunchy if I dip the chop in egg and coat it more heavily with the breadcrumb mixture. LOL
For quicker cooking, I will often take a thick loin chop and simply pound it thin. A quick fry on each side for browning, and two chops for 2 minutes in my microwave, followed by a 3-4 minute rest, and they are nicely done for two.
Also, try adding ginger powder instead of italian seasoning. It brightens the taste, and goes well with an Asian salad.
Fantastic! Only changed bread crumbs (didn’t have any!) to Ritz Wheat, crushed. Will make them a lot in the future – Thanks!
i love it easy to make quick
Delicious
So glad you liked it!! 😀
Made this this tonight…so easy and yummy!
Glad it was a hit! I’m all about easy and yummy recipes. 😉
This looks sooooo yummy! 🙂
Did you use fresh grated parm or the parm in the bottle?
These were delicious and so simple to make. All the ingredients were things we have in the house. Even my picky daughter loved them which is a huge plus. Thanks for sharing 🙂
YAY! So glad they were a hit, Leah!! Hope you can find more recipes you like from the site. Have a great day, and thank you for stopping by. 😉
I found this recipe while trying to find recipes on Pinterest to try for my blog. These were a hit! And… so is your blog. I’m loving digging in to all the areas.
In a casserole layer plank cut potatoes, sliced onion, pork chops, potatoes and onions. Cover with tomatoe juice. Top with aluminum foil and bake at 400 for approximately an hour.
Sounds good… but that’s a whole NEW recipe!
Made these last night- only substituting italian seasoning for the parsley and garlic salt for powder which was on hand- DELICIOUS!!
Aren’t they so easy?! So glad you liked them… will have to try the Italian seasoning next time I make it. 🙂
I never made pork chops simply because I had no idea how to make them. I tried your recipe and it was so easy and SO delicious! They were a huge hit at home, and I’ll definitely be making them again. Thanks so much!!
Oh, I LOVE to hear that Jami!! So glad they were a hit and even more glad they were super easy for you! 😀
I’m a newlywed and learning how to cook different things. Came across this on Pinterest and fell in love! I’m definitely going to try this 🙂
Let me know if you do. It’s so easy and always delicious!
I make pork chops or chicken this way. But I dip my meat in egg first. Then put on baking pan sprayed with cooking spray and bake. 400 for twenty minutes, then turn and bakes an additional twenty minutes.
Did you cook them covered or uncovered. I have mine cooking right now covered and plan on uncovering the last 20 min.
They were cooked uncovered. How did your turns out?
Hi, how do you make the mixture stick to the pork chops? Sorry for the stupid question but I’m not a very experienced cook. Your recipe looks easy and very good so I’m anxious to try it.
Egg
Thank you for the recipe. Found it on Pinterest…made it about a month back for the first time – super yummy, everyone in my family loved it. It’s on the menu again for tonight!
Thanks for stopping by, Marni. I’m so glad you like it. It’s definitely a favorite! 😀
I’m cooking these right now but I don’t have a glass baking dish, what is another alternative?
I looked up on Pinterest for Pork Chops and tons of different recipes came up. I finally came across your pork chop picture and looked really good. So I clicked onto your website and I had all the spices and stuff except the parmesan cheese, which I don’t care for. I didnt really measure but I did follow the other steps and I ran out of Olive Oil for the frying part, so shortening works too! I put them in the oven as well, 300° for about 15mins and in the last two mins cooking, I sprinkled some shredded mozzarella cheese on top. They were so yummmy, my two boys even liked it!! Making them now for second time! Thanks so much!
YAY! I LOVE hearing that, Kimberly! So glad that they still worked out and that the whole family loved them! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Have a great day!
I made these pork chops for dinner tonight and they were sooooo good. I used fresh shredded Parmesan cheese and had to press it into the chops before I seared them. My husband is super picky and he loved them too! Always a huge plus. Thank you so much for the recipe.
Looks delicious! We’ll have to give it a try.
these are very good and easy to make I just made them yesterday
I’m so glad you enjoyed them! Thanks for linking back to me 🙂 Have a fabulous weekend!
Had really thin chops so i skipped the baking and just Pan seared them. We loved them. Quick, crunchy & tasty! Great recipe for quick dinners!
Perfect!! Glad you liked them! Thank you for sharing that!
Hmmm, I would definitely try for a bit shorter time. Hopefully that will work!
Higher temp + shorter time = less dry.
You might also try cooking to temperature (145 for pork), using an instant-read thermometer (I use a Thermapen.).
Sounds yum! I’ll have to try that. Thank you for sharing!!
I am glad you liked the seasoning 🙂 It may sound long, but 1 hour is perfect 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
This was something I realized tonight as well. I sautéed on one side four minutes and almost burned mine, and did the other side for three minutes. They’re in the oven now so hoping they turn out! Mine are also an inch thick so fingers crossed.
How did they turn out?
