Ingredients
 

To Serve:

  • lemon wedges
  • arugula

Instructions
 

  • With your hand at least 12 inches away, lightly sprinkle salt and black pepper on all sides of the meat in a single layer. 
  • In a large bowl, season coarsely crush panko with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese. Stir to combine.
    In another bowl, lightly beat the egg.
  • Dip the meat in egg wash then gently shake off excess. After that, thoroughly coat the meat with breadcrumbs and shake off excess.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Gently lay the breaded pork in your pan. Do not overcrowd the pan. Turn the meat over when it's lightly golden browned, about 2 minutes on each side or longer until cooked through. Do not overcook.
  • Remove the cooked pork cutlet from the pan and set it on dry paper towels to absorb the excess oil. Let the pork rest for at least 3 minutes before serving. Serve with lemon wedges and/or arugula salad. Enjoy!

Notes

Be sure to use a food thermometer to check whether meat has reached a safe internal temperature (145°F) before removing meat from the heat source, with a three-minute rest time before serving.
Here's how to cook Pork Milanese in an air fryer
 
  • Follow #1, #2, #3
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. 
  • Spray the breaded pork with cooking spray or add about 1½ tablespoons of oil to the panko mixture before you dip the meat in. 
  • Place the breaded pork cutlets inside the air fryer basket, in a single layer. 
  • Cook for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through.
To double the recipe: If you are going to double this recipe, make sure that you change the oil and clean the pan before frying the second batch. I recommend a maximum of 3 pork chops per batch using the same oil, which will help keep the oil from burning.
