Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the pork chops between two pieces of parchment paper until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
In a shallow dish, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the breading mixture.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs with the Dijon mustard until well combined.
Dip each piece of pork into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then press both sides into the almond flour mixture to coat evenly.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the breaded pork chops to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the crust is golden brown and the pork is cooked through.
Remove the cooked schnitzels from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with a side of Whole30-compliant greens or salad.
