Herb Crusted Pork Chops

  • 4 boneless pork chops, fat trimmed
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 Tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, minced
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.  Rub mustard evenly over pork chops.  Combine panko, thyme, parsley, salt and pepper in a large bowl and dredge pork chops in panko mixture.

Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.  Add oil to pan and swirl to coat.  Add pork chops, saute for 2 minutes or until golden brown.  Turn pork over and place skillet in oven for about 8 minutes or until pork reaches 145 degrees in the center.  Enjoy!
