Place a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and lay the pork chop on top.

Using a meat mallet, pound the pork chop to an even thickness, ensuring to hit and move away to maintain control.

Check the thickness of the pork chop and continue pounding if necessary until it is about half an inch thick.

Prepare a mixture of egg and cream in a bowl for coating the pork chop.

Dip the pounded pork chop into the egg and cream mixture, ensuring it is fully coated on both sides.

Transfer the pork chop to a plate with bread crumbs, spooning some crumbs on top and pressing down with a fork to adhere.

Flip the pork chop and repeat the process to ensure an even coating of bread crumbs on both sides.

Heat extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over high heat until hot, then reduce to medium heat.

Carefully add the pork chop to the skillet, holding it by the bone to avoid splashing hot oil.

Cook the pork chop on one side until browned, then carefully turn it using the bone as a handle.

Tilt the pork chop slightly to ensure the oil seals the bone and cooks evenly.

Once cooked, remove the pork chop from the skillet and place it on a plate.

Prepare a salad with arugula and tomatoes, dressing it with salt, extra virgin olive oil, and lemon juice.

Plate the pork chop alongside the salad.
