Pound pork chops using a meat mallet between plastic wrap for 30 to 45 seconds to tenderize.

Season all-purpose flour with sea salt and black pepper in a bowl and mix.

In another bowl, beat large eggs.

In a third bowl, combine breadcrumbs with garlic granules, onion granules, dry oregano, dry thyme, grated parmesan cheese, sea salt, and black pepper, and mix.

Heat safflower oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Dredge each pork chop in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess.

Dip the floured pork chop in the beaten eggs, coating both sides.

Press the pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides.

Place the breaded pork chop on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.

Add the breaded pork chop to the hot oil in the skillet, cooking until golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Check the internal temperature of the pork chop, aiming for 145 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit, then remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
