- 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

- Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Optional: For extra crispiness, you can broil the pork chops for 2-3 minutes after baking.
