Ingredients

• 1  egg
• 1 1⁄4 cups 2% low-fat milk, divided
• 1 1⁄2 cups  soft breadcrumbs
• 3  teaspoons fresh parsley, minced, divided
• 1  teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
• 4  pork loin chops with bone (7 ounces each)
• 3⁄4 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper, divided
• 3  tablespoons  reduced-fat butter, divided
• 3  tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1  teaspoon all-purpose flour
• 1⁄3 cup half-and-half cream
• 1⁄3 cup  reduced-sodium beef broth

Directions

1. In a shallow bowl, whisk egg and 1/2 cup milk. Combine the bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon parsley and thyme in another shallow bowl. Sprinkle pork chops with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Dip chops in egg mixture, then crumb mixture.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook pork chops in 2 tablespoons butter for 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 10-15 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°.
3. Meanwhile, in the same skillet, melt remaining butter. Stir in flour and remaining salt and pepper until smooth; gradually stir in the cream, broth and remaining milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve gravy with chops; sprinkle with remaining parsley.
