Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Start by preparing the pork chops. Place each pork chop between two sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper.
Using the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound each pork chop to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and ground black pepper.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. Place the flour in the first dish.
In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in the third dish.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Finally, press the pork chop into the panko breadcrumbs, making sure all sides are thoroughly coated. Repeat for all pork chops.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded pork chops into the skillet.
Fry each side for 3-4 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the pork is cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pork cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
