    Step 2. Prepare the pork chop by cutting through the fat to prevent it from curling. Using the back of the knife, flatten the meat to help tenderize it. Season with salt and pepper both sides.

    Step 3. Add all-purpose flour into a plate . In a second bowl, beat your eggs and milk. In a third bowl, add and spread out panko.

    Generously coat the pork chop with flour, dip into egg mixture then coat with panko breadcrumbs.

    Step 4. In a pan, add in oil; once the oil is hot, add in the pork chop. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until crispy and golden brown. Remove and let it rest on a paper towel.
