Parmesan Crusted Baked Pork Chops

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F.

2. 2

   Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. 3

   Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.

4. 4

   Place the panko, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and a pinch of black pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Stir with a fork to combine. Pour in the melted butter, and stir until the crumbs are thoroughly moistened.

5. 5

   Divide an equal amount of the Parmesan mixture over each pork chop. Using clean hands or a spoon, pat the mixture into even layers, covering the surface of each pork chop.

6. 6

   Bake the pork chops for 25-30 minutes on the middle rack of oven, until the crust is golden and the meat reaches an internal temperature of 140u00b0F.

7. 7

   Pro tip: Using boneless pork chops? Keep an eye on them, as they will cook faster than bone-in pork chops.

8. 8

   Check to see that pork chops are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

9. 9

   Allow the pork chops to rest for 3 minutes on the baking sheet. Plate and serve immediately.
