Easy Pork Schnitzel

Sharing is caring!

This pork schnitzel recipe comes together super fast, and really just takes a few ingredients. The breading is perfect, gets nice and crispy, but doesn’t fall off when you cut it. Your family will go nuts for these!

This is by far one of my favorite pork recipes I have ever made. Pork chops have never been my favorite to make, depending on the cut it can be really easy to dry out. But these babies cook really fast because they are so thin. I now have a great go to recipe for pork chops, I am officially a forever-fan of pork schnitzel!

This pork schnitzel s kid approved and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. If your grocery store doesn’t have thin cut pork loin chops. Just get the regular boneless chops. Place chops between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. With meat mallet or rolling pin, pound each piece to 1/4-inch thick.
