Pork Schnitzel

Ingredients

• boneless pork loin chops (4 (5 ounce))
• table salt (1 teaspoon)
• black pepper (0.5 teaspoon)
• all-purpose flour (0.25 cup)
• garlic powder (0.5 teaspoon)
• onion powder (0.5 teaspoon)
• large eggs (2 )
• whole milk (0.25 cup)
• panko breadcrumbs (1.5 cups)
• canola oil (6 tablespoons)
• unsalted butter (2 tablespoons)
• chopped fresh thyme (0 )
• lemon wedges (0 )

Instructions

1. Place 1 pork chop between 2 sheets of plastic wrap on a clean work surface. Pound pork chop using a meat mallet until 1/4-inch thick. Transfer to a clean plate. Repeat with remaining pork chops. Evenly sprinkle pork chops with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Mix together flour, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish. Place eggs and milk in a separate shallow dish and whisk to combine. Place breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish. Dip a pork chop in flour, dusting off excess flour; dip in egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Place into breadcrumbs; flip and press pork into breadcrumbs until well covered. Repeat with remaining pork chops.
3. Place prepared pork chops on a plate or sheet tray and transfer to the refrigerator, uncovered, for 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add 2 pork chops and cook, flipping once, until golden brown on each side and no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Adjust heat to prevent burning.
5. Transfer to a clean plate or sheet tray. Pour off and discard oil from pan; wipe skillet clean and place back on stovetop over medium-high. Add remaining 3 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon butter and repeat with remaining 2 pork chops. Sprinkle cooked pork chops with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and thyme.
6. Serve chops with lemon wedges.
