Meal Planning Monday and my version of Schnitzel

 My family loves my version of schnitzel. I use the cheapest boneless pork chops for this recipe as they will be pounded thin, tenderizing them.

Shnitzel

  1.  Trim any big pieces of fat
  2. Pound pork chops thin. 
  3. Dredge in a mixture of flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  4. Fry in shallow oil about 3 minutes per side. The meat cooks quickly, you are trying to get the color you want on the breading.
  5. Drain on paper towels

Shnitzel can be eaten by itself, or my husband likes to make a sandwich with mustard and pickles. Some people also use bread crumbs as part of the breading, but we like it like this, so that's what I do. Plus it saves on one more ingredient to buy. I doubt this is authentic in anyway, but we like it and my kids love the word shnitzel ;)
