Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Onion powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoons Dried parsley
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Using a meat mallet, pound each pork chop between two pieces of plastic wrap until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In another shallow dish, beat together the eggs and water to create an egg wash.
In a third dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, paprika, and dried parsley.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured pork chops into the egg wash, ensuring they are well coated.
Press the pork chops into the breadcrumb mixture on both sides until fully coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the schnitzels from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the schnitzel.
