Ingredients

• 4 pieces pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1 cup vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the pork chops. Place each pork chop between two sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper.

Step 2

Using the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound each pork chop to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. Place the flour in the first dish.

Step 5

In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

Step 6

Place the panko breadcrumbs in the third dish.

Step 7

Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 8

Dip the floured pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 9

Finally, press the pork chop into the panko breadcrumbs, making sure all sides are thoroughly coated. Repeat for all pork chops.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded pork chops into the skillet.

Step 12

Fry each side for 3-4 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the pork is cooked through.

Step 13

Transfer the cooked pork cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 14

Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
