Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless pork loin chops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Begin by placing the pork loin chops on a cutting board. Cover them with plastic wrap and gently pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Season both sides of the pork cutlets with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Prepare your breading station by placing the flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs mixed with milk in another dish, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese and dried oregano in a third dish.

Step 4

Dip each pork cutlet first into the flour, ensuring an even coat and shaking off any excess.

Step 5

Next, dip the flour-coated pork cutlet into the egg mixture, making sure it's fully covered.

Step 6

Finally, press the pork cutlet into the panko breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is fully coated and the breadcrumbs adhere well on all sides.

Step 7

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded pork cutlets to the skillet, cooking in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.

Step 9

Cook each cutlet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the breading is golden brown and the pork is cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the cutlets from the skillet and let them drain briefly on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the breaded pork cutlets hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over, if desired.
