Ingredients

  • โ€ข2 large pork loin chops
  • โ€ข1 cup all-purpose flour
  • โ€ข2 large eggs
  • โ€ข1 cup breadcrumbs
  • โ€ข2 teaspoons paprika
  • โ€ขSalt and pepper to taste
  • โ€ข4 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • โ€ข2 lemons, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Set up a breading station: one shallow dish with flour mixed with salt, one with beaten eggs, and the last with breadcrumbs mixed with paprika.

  3. 3

    Dip each pork chop first in the flour, shaking off excess, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coat.

  4. 4

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops carefully.

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    Once done, transfer the schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.

  7. 7

    Encourage kids to squeeze lemon juice over their schnitzel for a zesty kick!
