Ingredients
Scale
For the Schnitzel:
- 4 boneless pork chops (thinly pounded)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Dijon Gravy:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Pound the Pork: Place each pork chop between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them until they are about ¼ inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Prepare Dredging Station: Set up three bowls—one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
- Coat the Pork: Dredge each pork chop in the flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Press down gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick.
- Fry the Schnitzel: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Prepare the Dijon Gravy: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add the chicken broth, stirring constantly. Once thickened, add the Dijon mustard and heavy cream. Stir until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Pour the creamy Dijon gravy over the crispy schnitzels and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, double coat the pork chops by repeating the egg and breadcrumb steps.
- You can substitute chicken for pork if preferred.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
