Say YES to the Parmesan Pork Chops

Parmesan Pork Chops

Made these tonight and they were pretty good.  Simple quick and easy which is exactly what I love.  Since I did not get my workout in this morning I needed to find something to cook that would be healthy, quick, easy and not a lot of fuss.  These were perfect!!!!

Ingredients:

4 Boneless Pork Chops

¼ c. Parmesan cheese, grated                              

2 Tbsp dried Italian seasoned bread crumbs

¼ tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp dried parsley

½ tsp garlic powder

¼ tsp fresh ground pepper

2 Tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions:

   

1.     Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2.       Mix parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, paprika, parsley, garlic powder and pepper together in a bowl.
3.      Put olive oil in a frying pan and heat on medium-high.  Swirl the pan to coat.
4.     Dip each pork chop in the mixture.  Pat to make it stick if needed.
5.     Add pork chops to pan and saute for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.  Place in a glass baking dish and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the internal temp reaches 145 degrees.  For us we like our meet to be at 160, but that was a little dry.  Next time we won’t.
