Equipment

1 skillet

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds Boneless Pork Loin Chops thin cut
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups Italian Style Panko Breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
1/4 cup Coconut oil or vegetable oil
1 lemon

Instructions

Place flour mixture and eggs each in bowls.
In another bowl mix together panko crumbs, paprika, cayenne and salt. Dip the chops in the flour, then the egg, and finally panko crumbs. Make sure to coat both sides well. Place on a plate and repeat for the rest.
Heat coconut oil in a cast iron pan or skillet to medium high heat,. Make sure the oil is ready by dropping a pinch of panko crumbs in the oil to see if it sizzles. Fry the schnitzel for about 3 minutes, flip and fry another 3 minutes. If the breading is getting to dark turn the heat down a bit.
Serve warm with a wedge of lemon
