Why It Works
A Parmesan and panko crust crisps up golden in the pan. A quick dredge keeps the coating stuck to the juicy chop inside.

Storage & Reheat
Store:
Store up to 3 days.
Reheat:
Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 375°F to keep the crust crisp.
Swaps
No panko? Use the same amount of regular dry breadcrumbs; the texture will be finer.
Avo's Tip
Let the crust set in the pan before flipping so it stays on the chop.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you start cooking.
Bone-in or boneless?
Boneless are easier to coat and cook evenly here.
Can I bake them instead?
Yes. Bake at 425°F until golden and 145°F inside.
What should I serve with them?
Pasta, a salad, or roasted vegetables.
Quick Fixes
Crust falling off: press it on firmly and don't move the chops too soon.
Coating browning too fast: lower the heat to cook them through.
Want extra crisp: finish in a hot oven for a few minutes.
