Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Onion powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoons Dried parsley
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Using a meat mallet, pound each pork chop between two pieces of plastic wrap until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat together the eggs and water to create an egg wash.
Step 4
In a third dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, paprika, and dried parsley.
Step 5
Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Step 6
Dip the floured pork chops into the egg wash, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 7
Press the pork chops into the breadcrumb mixture on both sides until fully coated.
Step 8
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 9
Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 10
Remove the schnitzels from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 11
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the schnitzel.
