If you love crispy-on-the-outside, juicy-on-the-inside kind of dinners — you’re going to love this one.
This Skillet Parmesan Crusted Pork Recipe is one of those no-fail, weeknight winners that tastes like something you’d get at a cozy bistro... but it's made in your kitchen with just a few simple ingredients.

It’s golden, savory, cheesy, and made in one skillet with very little cleanup. I like to serve it with roasted veggies or a crisp salad, but it also pairs beautifully with mashed cauliflower or a side of rice.

It’s a great go-to for busy nights when you want comfort food without the heaviness.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless pork chops (about ½ inch thick)

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• ¼ cup almond flour or whole wheat breadcrumbs

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 egg, beaten

• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

1. Prep the coating
   In a shallow bowl, mix Parmesan, almond flour or breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

2. Dredge the pork
   Dip each pork chop in the beaten egg, then coat both sides in the Parmesan mixture. Press it in well so it sticks.

3. Pan-fry to golden perfection
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook pork chops 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through (internal temp of 145°F).

4. Rest & serve
   Let rest for 3–5 minutes before serving to keep them juicy. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Sarah’s Tips:

• Make it gluten-free: Use almond flour instead of breadcrumbs.

• Add a squeeze of lemon at the end for brightness.

• Want a veggie boost? Add spinach or zucchini ribbons to the skillet after flipping the pork.

• Double it up: Leftovers reheat beautifully in the oven or air fryer!

Flavorful Conclusion:

This Skillet Parmesan Crusted Pork Recipe checks all the boxes: quick, crispy, cheesy, and so satisfying. It’s one of those back-pocket dinners you’ll make on repeat — especially when you want real food fast, without sacrificing flavor or your clean eating goals.
