Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Place the boneless pork chops on a cutting board and, if necessary, pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This ensures even cooking.
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In a separate shallow dish, whisk the eggs with water until fully combined.
In a third shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Finally, coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the surface.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small breadcrumb into the oil – it should sizzle immediately.
Working in batches if necessary, add the breaded pork chops to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the pork chops should reach 145°F (63°C).
Transfer the cooked pork chops to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Boneless Pork Chops Milanese warm, garnished with a lemon wedge for squeezing over the top. Pair with a simple arugula salad or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
