Ingredients

• 4 pieces Veal cutlets
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cups Low-sodium whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons Onion powder
• 1 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place the veal cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet to achieve an even thickness, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

Set up a breading station: Place the flour in a shallow dish. In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs. In a third shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and black pepper.

Step 4

Dredge each veal cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs and then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded veal cutlets to the pan, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Step 6

Cook the cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the veal is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

Step 8

Remove from oven and rest for a few minutes.

Step 9

Serve the low sodium breaded veal cutlets with lemon wedges to squeeze over before eating for a fresh, vibrant finish.
