Ingredients

lemon arugula

  • 6 to 8 cups arugula greens
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of pepper
  • 1 to 2 lemons, juiced
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ cup freshly shaved parmesan cheese

Instructions 

  • Use a meat tenderizer to pound the pork chops until they are about ½ inch thick. You want them all even in thickness. Season the pork all over with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly beat the eggs in one bowl. In another bowl. Combined the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Dip each piece of pork in the egg and then into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently so they adhere.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the pork chops (you may need to do this in batches) and cook on each side for about 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown and crispy and the internet temperature is 145 degrees F. Remove the pork and let it rest a few minutes before slicing.
  • Slice and serve over the lemon arugula!
