- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Pork Chops:
- Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
- Prepare the Coating Station:
- In three separate shallow dishes, set up a coating station. Place flour in one dish, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried oregano, and garlic powder in the third.
- Coat the Pork Chops:
- Dredge each pork chop in the flour, ensuring it’s well-coated. Dip it into the beaten eggs, and then press it into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
- Heat Olive Oil:
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Brown the Pork Chops:
- Brown the pork chops on both sides in the hot skillet until the coating is golden brown. This step is to sear and create a crispy crust; the pork chops will finish cooking in the oven.
- Bake:
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Rest and Garnish:
- Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
