  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Pound pork chops with a meat mallet to an even 1/4- to 3/8-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Place flour and eggs into 2 separate shallow dishes. Combine panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning in a third dish.
  • Dip each pork chop first into flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip into egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Coat chops in crumb mixture and set on a plate.
  • Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet until hot. Fry chops for 2 minutes, flip, and fry an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer to a baking dish and top each chop with 1/4 cup of sauce, then top with cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is warmed through and cheese is melted, 6 to 8 minutes. Top with parsley before serving.
