COUNTRY-FRIED PORK CUTLETS WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY

Category: Pork - Chops and Steaks

4 boneless pork chops
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup + 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
1 large egg
1/2 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs or panko bread crumbs mixed with about 1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons canola or olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon butter
8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup low sodium beef broth

Pound pork chops to 1/4-inch thickness; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Place 1/2 cup flour in a dish, beat egg in another, and stir together Panko bread crumbs and garlic powder in a third dish. Coat chops with flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg coating on both sides; allowing excess to drip back into the bowl. Dredge in the Panko mixture.

Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 pork cutlets and cook until browned on outside and cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate; heat remaining oil in skillet and cook remaining cutlets.

Wipe skillet clean with paper towels. Melt butter in skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and saute until mushrooms are softened and they release liquid, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt over mushrooms; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in milk and broth; bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Simmer until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon over cutlets to serve. Serves 4
