Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless pork chops
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 pieces eggs
• 1.5 cups breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable stock
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 pieces lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Place each pork chop between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with the flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with the breadcrumbs. Season the flour with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Dredge each pork chop in the flour, then dip it into the egg, and finally coat it with the breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the schnitzels in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 5

In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 6

Pour in the heavy cream and stock, then stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 7

Season the cream sauce with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped parsley and remove from heat.

Step 8

To serve, place each schnitzel on a plate, then spoon the cream sauce over the top. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
