Chicken breasts are leaner and often less expensive.

Pound the pork chop thinly on both sides using a meat mallet inside a ziplock bag.

Prepare the egg wash by mixing 1 egg with a couple of tablespoons of milk in a flat shallow dish.

On another shallow plate, evenly dispose flour.

On a third plate, dispose about half of the bread crumbs evenly, then add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme, mixing well.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, using about 4 teaspoons of oil.

Dip the pounded pork chop on both sides in the flour, shaking off the excess flour.

Dip the floured pork chop into the egg wash, letting it drip.

Transfer the pork chop to the bread crumbs, coating it well.

Place the pork chop in the skillet away from you to avoid splashing, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Check the color of the pork chop after 3 minutes; it should be rich and beautiful before flipping.

Remove the cooked pork chop and fry the remaining ones the same way.

After frying, remove most of the oil from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon.

Add mustard to the remaining oil in the skillet and mix well.

Add the rest of the flour, salt, and pepper to the skillet and mix with the oil.

Slowly add the rest of the milk and a little bit of water to the skillet, mixing well to create the sauce.

Add garlic powder to the sauce and mix well until smooth.

Scoop the sauce over the cooked pork chop before serving.
