Ingredients
  

4 bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)

1/2 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp unsalted butter

1 lemon, zested and juiced

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures a perfect finish to your pork chops.

    Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

      Season the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

        Coat the Pork Chops: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, dip each pork chop into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to coat both sides, then place them in the skillet.

          Sear the Chops: Cook the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. Work in batches if necessary so you don't overcrowd the skillet.

            Bake in the Oven: After searing, transfer the pork chops onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the remaining melted butter and lemon juice over the tops of the chops. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

              Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with lemon zest and extra fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your flavorful Garlic Parmesan Pork Chops with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad!
