Ingredients
  

4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

1 packet (1 oz) ranch dressing mix

1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice)

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Pork Chops: In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and ranch dressing mix, whisking until well blended. Add the pork chops, ensuring they are completely submerged in the mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to allow the flavors to penetrate.

    Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with olive oil.

      Prepare the Coating: In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

        Coat the Pork Chops: Remove the marinated pork chops from the refrigerator. Allow excess buttermilk to drip off, then dredge each chop in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure a thorough coating.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated pork chops on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the tops lightly with olive oil to promote browning and crispiness.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). The coating should be golden brown and crispy.

              Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven, and let the pork chops rest for about 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

                Enjoy Your Meal: Serve these delicious ranch pork chops with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad!
