Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.25 cup Avocado oil or olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon slices
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by placing each pork chop between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper.
Step 2
Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the pork chops until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 4
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs thoroughly.
Step 5
Dip each pounded pork chop first into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off, then coat both sides in the almond flour mixture. Press the coating onto the pork chop to ensure it adheres well.
Step 6
Heat the avocado oil or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, add the breaded pork chops to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Transfer the schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve each schnitzel with a slice of lemon.
Step 10
Enjoy your tasty low carb breaded schnitzel with your choice of low-carb sides.
