Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork loin cutlets
• 1 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 3 large Egg whites
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

On a large plate, spread the all-purpose flour evenly. On a second plate, mix the breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg whites and low-fat milk until well combined.

Step 4

Pat the pork cutlets dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture. Dredge each cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 5

Dip the floured cutlets into the egg mixture, ensuring each cutlet is fully coated on both sides.

Step 6

Press each cutlet firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly and pressing to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere.

Step 7

Place the breaded cutlets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.

Step 8

Lightly spray the tops of the cutlets with cooking spray to help them brown and crisp.

Step 9

Bake the cutlets in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 10

Once baked, remove the cutlets from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your low-fat breaded pork cutlets with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
