Ingredients

5 pork chops (thick cut 1- 1½ inches (2½ - 3.8 cm)
½ cup bread crumbs
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano Romano (or Grana)
¼ teaspoon salt
1-2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley chopped*
2 tablespoons olive oil for drizzling

Steps

1
Pre heat oven to 375° (190°). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
2
On a large plate mix together the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt and parsley, coat the pork chops very well with the crumb mixture one at a time, place on prepared baking sheet, sprinkle lightly with salt (pinch) and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
3
Bake in pre heated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes**, halfway through baking turn the chops over, and sprinkle with any extra crumbs. In the last 5 minutes I raised the temperature to 390F/200C, for extra browning. Let the chops sit 3-5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
