Ingredients
- 2.5 lb boneless pork chops
For the brine
- 1/4 cup Kosher salt
- 4 cups water
For the pork chops
- 1 cup pork panko
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp basil
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 cup olive oil approximately
Instructions
For the brine
- Dissolve the salt in the water in a large bowl
- Add the pork chops to the water
- Refrigerate for 3 hours or up to overnight. You can go a bit longer with these, the salt to water ratio is intentionally higher than normal because you do run the risk of them being too salty, especially with the Paremsan cheese.
For the pork chops
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Remove the chops from the water and pat dry with a paper towel
- Combine all of the dry ingredients together (pork panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, basil and oregano) in a small bowl to create the "breading".
- In a shallow bowl or pie pan, add some of the olive oil.
- In another shallow bowl, add some of the dried breading mixture.
- One by one, dredge each chop in the olive oil (both sides) and then into the breading mixture (both sides) and place in a 9x11 baking pan.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the chops and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F. Thinner or thicker chops may impact the cook time so check frequently.
- Serve and enjoy!
