instructions
    1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

    2

    In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and garlic powder until well combined.

    3

    In another bowl, combine the bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, and grated parmesan cheese.

    4

    Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, coating it thoroughly, then press it into the bread crumb mixture to ensure it is evenly coated on both sides.

    5

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.

    6

    Transfer the seared pork chops to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

    7

    Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
