Ingredients

1 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
2 large eggs
6 boneless pork loin chops, pounded thin to 1/3 inch-thick (1 1/2 pounds total)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
6 lemon wedges

Directions

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.

Coarsely crush the panko into a large shallow bowl. Stir the cheese into the panko. Lightly beat the eggs in another large shallow bowl. Sprinkle the pork generously with salt and pepper. Dip the pork, 1 piece at a time, in the egg, allowing the excess to drip off, then dredge the pork in the crumb mixture, patting to coat completely. Place the pork on a small baking sheet.

Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the pork to the hot oil and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then transfer them to a clean baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil to the skillet and fry the remaining pork.

Transfer the pork to plates and serve with lemon wedges.

Great Easy Meal
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My daughter hates pork. Especially pork chops.. We made this with boneless pork chops and it was a big hit. I did not have... Panko breadcrumbs in my pantry so I used regular and it turned out terrific.Read more

Biggest Family Hit!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am a new cook and this summer I've been trying simple recipes. I saw this episode working with kids and I made the whole... menu for my family. But this recipe in particular was a smash hit! My father mentioned he wasn't the biggest fan of pork chops before I made anything. After he ate the first one, he ate a second, and then another half! He has repeatedly told me this is his new favorite meal. These aren't only super simple to prepare and make, they reheat so well! I make several extra and they last for days after and are still delicious. I recommend this recipe for anyone.Read more

Absolutely Delicious !!!!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was simple, quick , easy and delicious. The pork chops remained succulent and moist. I served this in a more traditional... Milanese manner. I bought baby arugula mixed greens, and lightly tossed it with a simple dressing made with champagne vinegar, lemon juice and extra virgin olivie oil.You can just make a dressing of just lemon juice and olive oil. Portions of the salad was placed on top of the pork chops and served with lemon wedges. It was wonderful. We all loved it. Thanks for another great one Giada.Read more

Awesome on a salad!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My boyfriend and I have been looking for new ways to spruce up salads for a healthier dinner. We made the pork milanese, cut... it into slices and added it to salad greens with dried cherries and soy beans (edemame). Drizzled with a little fat free honey mustard dressing...it was fanastic and so filling!Read more
