Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops (boneless, pounded thin)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 cups White or cremini mushrooms (sliced)
• 1 small Onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 cup Beef or chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the pork chops by pounding them thin (about 1/4-inch thick). Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. Fill the first bowl with flour, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Dredge each pork chop in the flour, coating completely, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Set aside the breaded pork chops on a plate.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the breaded pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and keep warm.

Step 5

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion, cooking until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour the beef or chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Serve the schnitzels on individual plates or a serving platter. Spoon the mushroom gravy generously over the top.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
