This Garlic Parmesan Pork Chop Recipe is super quick and easy to make with a crispy Parmesan crust on the outside.
I’m thrilled to be sharing another weeknight winning dinner recipe in partnership with Land O’Lakes. All you need are a few basic ingredients to make these super tasty, tender and flavorful pork chops.
Garlic Parmesan Pork Chop Recipe:
- Start by seasoning your boneless pork chops with salt and pepper.
- Dip the pork chops in an egg wash, then into a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese and garlic powder.
- Sear the pork chops on both sides using a hot cast iron skillet and Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt.
- Finish the cooking in the oven until the pork chops have reached 145 degrees F internally.
Boneless Pork Chops or Bone-In Pork Chops?
For this recipe, we’re using boneless pork loin chops because they’re quicker to cooking, which is perfect for this simple weeknight dinner. I use a pork chop that is about 1/2″ thick, but you could use an even thicker chop.
If using a thinner pork chop: check the internal temperature before placing in the oven. If it’s at temperature (145 degrees F) already, you’ll want to skip the oven and just go ahead and enjoy!
Oven Baked Pork Chop Recipe
If you don’t want to sear the pork chops on the stove top before baking, you can skip that step, but I would recommend searing first. When you sear with the Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt it helps to give the outside coating a nice golden and buttery crust. Finishing in the oven will ensure that you don’t burn the outside of the pork chops before they get fully cooked on the inside.
What To Serve with Pork Chops?
- Simple Vegetable Rice Pilaf
- Steamed Green Beans
- Scalloped Potatoes
- Parmesan Roasted Broccoli
Recipe Tips and Variations:
- You can substitute a thin chicken breast for the pork chops if desired. Just be sure to cook to 165 degrees F.
- You can use either freshly grated Parmesan cheese or even the canned stuff!
- This recipe is best when served right away. I would not recommend making in advance.
- To reheat, you can use the oven or even the air fryer to regain the crispy coating.
You’re going to love how quickly this dinner is made. My whole family LOVES this simple recipe and we can’t get enough of that crispy Parmesan crust with the tender and juicy pork chop.

Love this it is so tender & juicy. My son asks for it all the time.
Beautiful.
Made mushroom gravy and served with baked potatoes and asparagus.
Will certainly be making this a favourite
This recipe was so good. My husband and toddler were raving about it. I added some sautéed onions to the pan before I put it in the oven. Will definitely make it again.
We used thick pork chops (approximately 1.75 inch) which were delicious: very tender and moist. Definitely will make again the next time for friends. Also I like that it is so simple and easy to make. Thanks for recipe.
I just tried this recipe tonight and it is delishious. I actually ate the whole chop. Thank you
Wonderful! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Great recipe! Forgot the garlic, and it was still delicious. Will make this again, surely.
I forgot to take a picture of my pork chops but I have to say the pork chops were delicious and juicy. My husband said the recipe is a keeper!!!
I got a recipe from your site for homemade parmesan garlic breadcrumbs and can’t find it now. I want to make them again and don’t remember what all was in the ingredients and how much of each one.
Would appreciate your help. Thanks
Loved this recipe and thinking of making again.. would you consider this healthy or not so much due to cheese and butter?
I don’t like to give out health advice, since all diets are different.
These were really delicious! I used super thin pork chops so I skipped the oven, they were perfect in the skillet! I added a little panko as well! Very good recipe!
Fantastic! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
These were amazing! My picky 10 year old LOVED them!
Yay! So great to hear!
Is there any way to make them without using the oven? Maybe just fry a little longer?
If they’re pretty thin pork chops, you could definitely get away without the oven. 🙂
I used this on chicken since it was already thawed. I made the homemade garlic Parmesan crumbs, but used panko since that’s what I had. Just buzzed them in my mini food processor to make them finer then added the seasonings. Chicken was so crispy! Will do this with chops nex time.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
I don’t keep any bread crumbs in the house because hubby says they have the texture of sand. I always have Panko crumbs though. Would it make a huge difference if I use Panko? What herbs should I add to make them ‘Italian’. I can them give them a couple pulses in the mini food processor to combine them and break up the big flakes a bit.
Panko crumbs should work, and yes, I would add some Italian Seasoning to it. Enjoy!
Wondering if I can omit the breadcrumbs for dietary reasons? Any ideas for low carb substitutes?
You could use a low carb substitute, or omit them if you can’t eat them. This will change the flavor of the dish though.
Great recipe! Easy and quick! What do you do with the leftover breadcrumbs mixture?
If the crumbs have come in contact with the raw pork, you should toss them for food safety reasons.
Hi Shawn , Was just wondering are you supposed to use Parmesan out of the shaker container or fresh grates flakes?
Either one will work. I personally like the one out the shaker for this recipe. 😉
Tried your recipe and loved it. You just found yourself a new subscriber. Lol. Thanks alot.
That’s awesome! I’m so glad you found me! 😉
My family loved these! Only thing I did different is that I cooked them in my air fryer. Absolutely amazing!!
I love the idea of cooking in the air fryer! Thanks Jan!
Just made these for dinner tonight and the men in the family all said it was great! The only thing I did differently was I brined my chops for a couple hours before cooking.
Great idea to brine the chops! I bet they were super tender!
I used fresh parmesan as well as the one in the shaker, with double amount of both.
So great to hear!
Absolutely delicious pork chops……..thanks for the truly simple yet delicious meal in just under 30 minutes.
Fantastic! So glad you enjoyed it KZ!
Looking forward to more simple and affordable recipes.
You’re in the right place! 😉
Yummy!
I haven’t made this yet but I wanted to ask a question. I don’t have a cast iron skillet so what can I use in place of?
Any oven safe skillet should work just fine! 🙂
Yummo! I added this directly to me digital cookbook–another winner–this I can tell!
You’re going to love it!
Trying this receive this evening, just wondering what the green flakes are, wondering if it is parsley?
Absolutely perfect week dinner ! Thank you and enjoy your week 🙂
So glad you enjoyed it! Have a great week too!
Any tips in making sure it doesn’t turn out tough and dry?
I remember growing up my mom would make pork chops and it was always tough, dried out and hard to chew.
Hi Janeen, yessss! You’ll want to make sure you use an instant read thermometer to check the temperature of the pork. The biggest problem is overcooking, which will make them dry and tough. So if your chops are on the thin side and come to temperature before you have to put them in the oven, then DON’T put them in the oven. But if they’re thicker, make sure you cook them till they reach about 140 degrees F.
How long to cook these in air fryer?
I would start at 10 to 15 minutes and check if they’re cooked through.
This was absolutely delicious. I am so happy I found this blog. I have tried many blogs over the years and find that many recipes are too complicated or too hard to follow and I end up hating the meals I make. However, this blog is truly easy with great simple recipes and not a ton of ingredients my house is 4 for 4 of liking all your recipes so far!
Thank you!!!
Wow Kalsey, thank you so much for your sweet comment! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe and the others too. 🙂
Hi,
I really want to try this recipe. I don’t have a cast iron skillet. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Monique
Hi Monique. You can still make this recipe in an oven safe skillet. If you do not have an oven safe skillet, you can use a regular skillet to sear the pork chops, then transfer the chops to a baking dish to finish baking in the oven. Hope that helps!
