Add salt, poultry seasoning, and oregano to the flour bowl.

Add a small quantity (about 3/4 tablespoon) of apple juice to the beaten egg and mix well.

Bread the pork chops by first coating them in flour, then dipping them in the egg mixture, and finally pressing them into the breadcrumbs.

Ensure to shake off excess juice from the pork chops before coating them in flour.

Use one hand for the flour and egg and the other for the breadcrumbs to keep the mixtures clean.
