| 8 | Drizzle the chicken stock over the casserole. |
| 9 | Cover the dish and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender, basting once or twice during cooking. |
| 10 | Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and 2 tablespoons of butter. |
| 11 | When the pork chops are done, remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole. |
| 12 | Return the dish to the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 10 minutes, or until the topping is golden and crispy. |
