Ingredients

For the Pork Chops

  • 4 pieces Thin Boneless Pork Chops Choose uniform thickness for even cooking.
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard Vital for the marinade.

For the Marinade

  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil Light olive oil or avocado oil are alternatives.
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Sea salt can be used if preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly ground brings out the best flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Consider using fresh minced garlic for extra zing.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme Adjust quantities if using fresh.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Adjust quantities if using fresh.
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano Adjust quantities if using fresh.
  • 1 teaspoon Basil Adjust quantities if using fresh.

For the Crispy Coating

  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese Opt for freshly grated for optimal texture.

Instructions

Preparation

  • In a bowl, mix together the dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, onion powder, oregano, basil, and half of the kosher salt and black pepper until well combined.
  • Place the pork chops in a zipper bag, pour the marinade over them, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the grated parmesan cheese evenly in a shallow dish.
  • Take the chops out of the bag and allow excess marinade to drip off. Coat each chop generously in the parmesan cheese.
  • Season the coated chops with the remaining salt and pepper, then roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 155°F (69°C). Broil for a couple of minutes for extra crispiness.

Notes

Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added brightness.
