Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops or chicken breasts
- 1 cup Unsalted breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt-free garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt-free onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Place each piece of meat between two sheets of plastic wrap on a hard surface. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the meat to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Prepare the breading station: Place the flour in a shallow bowl. In a second bowl, beat the eggs with water to create an egg wash. In a third bowl, mix unsalted breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika.
Dredge each cutlet in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the breaded cutlets into the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove cutlets from the pan and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of sides.
