pork cutlets

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: pork loin

Chicken breast is leaner, while pork loin is less expensive.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: panko

💰Cheaper: homemade bread crumbs

Panko adds extra crunch, while homemade can save costs.

Pound two boneless pork chops thin using a meat mallet or rolling pin between parchment paper or a plastic bag.

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.

Prepare a shallow dish with seasoned bread crumbs, adding dried parsley if desired.

In another dish, beat two eggs with a splash of water (not even a tablespoon).

Heat about 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a skillet until hot.

Dip each pork chop into the egg wash, ensuring it's coated but not heavily.

Press the egg-coated pork chop into the seasoned bread crumbs, packing it on for a good coating.

Carefully place the breaded pork chop into the hot skillet, avoiding splashes of oil.

Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, checking for doneness as they are thin.

Remove the cooked pork chops and place them on a plate to show their deliciousness.
