Preparation:

This is a very quick and easy to make pork recipe with big flavor. The list of ingredients is short as is the prep time. Try this recipe and you will see why its my go to chops recipe. I just love the flavors paired with the pork. Pre-heat your cooker to 260 degrees F. Let's start by making the breading & parmesan mix. In a baking dish combine the fallowing and mix well. 1 Cup Italian Bread Crumbs (Progresso) 3/4 Cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese 2 Tsp. Granulated Garlic 1 Tsp. Finely Chopped Fresh Rosemary 1 Tsp. Coarse Ground Black Pepper Once the breading is thoroughly mixed set it aside. Trim and rinse your chops. Pat dry with a paper towel. Spray a cooking rack with Pam or oil. It's now time to coat the chops with the breading. For best results, mop each chop front, back, sides and ends with extra virgin olive oil. Dip each chop into the breading mix making sure to coat the entire chop. Once coated apply another layer of the breading mix on top of the chop and place it on the cooking rack. Repeat this process on the remaining pork chops. Once your cooker reaches 260 degrees F place the rack of pork chops in the center of your cooker.  Cook at 260 degrees until the internal temp reaches 145 degrees F. If this seems too low of a temp , keep in mind the FDA recently reduce safe minimum cooking temperature of pork cuts from 160 to 145. Ground pork is still 160 degrees. In my case I used Alder pellets and the total cook time was 1 1/2 hours. Once the pork chops have reached  and internal temp of 145 degrees F, remove them from the cooker and let stand for 5 minutes. I plated mine up with some Asparagus sautéed in butter and garlic. I garnished the pork with some fresh rosemary. That's it! As I stated in the beginning this is a simple and quick cook. All be it simple, it's packing big flavor. I hope you enjoy this recipe.
