Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut oil

Directions
Step 1
Place each pork chop between two pieces of plastic wrap. Firmly pound each chop with a meat mallet until about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
Step 4
Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, ensuring completely coated, and finally back into the flour mixture. Set aside on a plate.
Step 5
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 6
Add the coated pork chops to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the Paleo Pork Tonkatsu warm with optional lemon wedges and Paleo tonkatsu sauce on the side.
