Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 large Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Place each pork chop between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound each chop to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the gluten-free all-purpose flour. In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In the third dish, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs with paprika.
Dredge each pork chop first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the egg mixture, ensuring it's completely coated. Finally, press the pork chop into the breadcrumbs, covering it entirely.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
When the oil is hot, add the pork chops carefully without overcrowding the pan. You may need to do this in batches.
Fry the schnitzels for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Before serving, slice the lemon and squeeze over each schnitzel. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
