🥘 Ingredients

16 items

• 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoons Water
• 1 cups Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 8 ounces Button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Place the boneless pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and gently pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4-inch thick.

2. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with the flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with water, and one with breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

3. Dredge each pork scallopine in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg wash, and finally coat in the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each piece is evenly coated.

4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each breaded pork scallopine for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary and add more olive oil as needed. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

5. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.

6. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

7. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.

8. Stir in the heavy cream and reduce the heat to low. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

9. Add the remaining butter (1 tablespoon) to the sauce and stir until melted and glossy. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed.

10. Serve the breaded pork scallopine on individual plates or a platter, topped with the mushroom sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
