Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless pork chops 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more for sprinkling on pork
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper plus more for sprinkling on pork
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • canola oil for frying

Instructions

  • Lightly season both sides of the pork chops with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Set up an assembly line with flour, egg and panko bread crumbs. Season the flour with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Use the remaining salt and pepper to season the panko bread crumbs.
  • Dip one pork chop into the flour, then into the egg and finally into the panko bread crumbs. Be sure to coat completely. Set aside. Repeat until all pork chops are coated.
  • Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop a couple panko bread crumbs in the oil, if they sizzle the oil is hot enough. Cook pork chops until cooked through and golden brown, 3 - 4 minutes per side.
  • Slice and serve.

Enjoy!
