Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I like to start by preparing my pork chops. I season them with salt and pepper, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat. While they’re resting, I mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese in a shallow dish. The smell of the garlic and cheese mixture is just heavenly! Today, I decided to add breadcrumbs for an extra layer of crunch, which truly elevates the dish’s texture. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
