Ingredients

For the Cutlets

1 lb. boneless pork loin chops, sliced into thin cutlets (about ½ inch thick)
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs, (whole wheat or panko)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 large egg
2 Tbsp. milk (or water)
1-2 tsp. olive oil for pan
lemon wedges & parsley for serving

For the Gravy

2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup whole milk (or low-fat)
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
black pepper, to taste
fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Butterfly the pork cutlets all the way through so you have 2 thin cutlets per each piece.
Mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk the egg and milk (or water) in an separate shallow dish.
Dip the pork in egg wash, then the breadcrumb mixture.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high, add the olive oil, and cook the cutlets 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and 145°F internal temperature. Remove and keep warm on a plate.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
Slowly whisk in the broth, then milk, Worcestershire, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Simmer until thickened, approximately 5-10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Return the cutlets to the skillet, spoon gravy over top, and simmer 1–2 minutes.
Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted veggies.
