• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• olive oil for frying

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  sticking to the baking sheet.

• 6 Station 3 – mix together panko bread crumbs, paprika, garlic powder, thyme, salt
  & pepper
• 7 Dust pork chops with flour, shake off excess.
• 8 Immediately dip into egg mixture.
• 9 Next press into bread crumb mixture ensuring a good coating of bread crumbs.
• 10 Heat olive oil to large frying pan.
• 11 Brown the pork chops on medium heat just until golden brown on each side.
• 12 Transfer to baking pan to finish cooking in the oven for thicker cut pork chops.
• 13 Bake at 350º for 20-30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
• 14 If using thinner cut pork chops you can skip baking in the oven and just use the
  stovetop.
