Boneless Pork Chops: Pounded thin so they’re tender and cook fast. Salt & Pepper: Basic seasonings add your first layer of flavor. Garlic Powder: Adds a touch of savory flavor to the breading mixture. Flour: Part 1 of the dredging mixture to help the egg stick. Eggs: Part 2 of the dredging mixture to help the breadcrumbs adhere. Breadcrumbs: Part 3 of the dredging mixture (I prefer panko for extra crunch, but you can use regular breadcrumbs if you want!) Olive Oil: For frying your pork schnitzel in! (Or try another neutral-tasting oil with a high smoke point e.g. vegetable oil) Lemon Wedges: For serving your schnitzel with.
