Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1.5 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Place the boneless pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the pork to a 1/4-inch thickness. Repeat with all pieces.
Set up a breading station by placing the gluten-free flour in one shallow dish. In a second shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Dredge each pork chop in the gluten-free flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for all pork chops.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F.
Remove the schnitzels from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the schnitzel.
