Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. This helps them to get a nice sear and prevents excess moisture.
2. Mix Parmesan Coating:
In a bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
3. Coat Pork Chops:
Brush each pork chop with olive oil on both sides. Coat each chop with the Parmesan mixture, pressing it onto the pork to adhere.
4. Sear Pork Chops:
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they develop a golden-brown crust.
5. Transfer to Oven:
If your skillet is oven-safe, transfer it directly to the preheated oven. If not, transfer the seared pork chops to a baking dish.
6. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Broil for Crispy Top (Optional): If you desire a crispier top, you can turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes, but keep a close eye to prevent burning.
7. Garnish and Serve:
Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
