Ingredients
  

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

2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup buttermilk (or plain yogurt)

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (Panko for extra crunch)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Pork Chops: In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and ranch seasoning mix. Add the pork chops, ensuring they are fully submerged in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.

    Prepare the Coating: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.

      Dredge the Pork Chops: Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess buttermilk to drip off. Dip each chop into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides. Press down slightly to adhere the coating effectively.

        Bake the Chops: Place the coated pork chops onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the chops for added moisture and flavor. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

          Crisp it Up: For a crispier finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 3-5 minutes of cooking, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.

            Serve: Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Pair with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
