Ingredients
  

4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko recommended for extra crunch)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Mix the Coating: In a medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

      Prepare the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. This will help the coating adhere better. Brush both sides of each chop with olive oil.

        Coat the Chops: Dip each pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Press down slightly to help the coating stick.

          Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the coated pork chops in a single layer on a greased baking dish.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chops are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C) and the coating is golden brown.

              Garnish & Serve: Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

                Enjoy: Serve hot with your choice of sides, like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables, to savor every crunchy, flavorful bite!
