Servings: 6
Calories: 390kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless pork chops 4-6 chops
- 1/2 cup flour all-purpose
- 1 tbsp seasoned salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- vegetable oil for frying
- Optional lemon wedges to serve
- Optional parsley freshly chopped, to serve
Instructions
- Place a pork chop between two sheets of plastic wrap or into a freezer bag. Use a meat mallet or a rolling pin to flatten the pork chop until it's about 1/4" thick. Use sweeping motions, working from the middle to the edges of the chop, for even thickness throughout. Repeat with the remaining chops.
- Prepare three shallow plates. Whisk the flour and seasoning salt in one, beat the eggs in the second, and add the breadcrumbs to the third. Take a pork chop and dredge it through the flour, coating it completely. Shake off any excess flour.
- Then, coat the pork chop in the beaten egg. Let the excess drip off before coating it completely in the panko breadcrumbs. Dredge the remaining chops in the flour, egg, and breadcrumbs.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add enough vegetable oil to completely coat the bottom of the pan. Once shimmering and hot, add the pork chops, working in batches. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Set the finished chops on a paper towel-lined plate. Optional: Sprinkle flaked sea salt and freshly cracked pepper over the schnitzels before serving.
