Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Boneless Pork Chops: Tender and juicy, they are perfect for schnitzel. Opt for thicker cuts for better frying results.
- All-Purpose Flour: For dredging the pork chops before frying, use fresh flour for the best coating.
- Eggs: They help the breadcrumbs adhere to the pork; whisk them well for an even coating.
- Breadcrumbs: Use panko breadcrumbs for an extra crispy texture. They give your schnitzel that delightful crunch.
- Mushrooms: Fresh button mushrooms work great; sauté them until golden brown to unlock their earthy flavors.
- Cream: Heavy cream adds richness to the sauce; don’t skimp on this ingredient for maximum indulgence.
- Chicken Broth: A splash enhances the sauce’s flavor depth; low-sodium options are ideal for controlling saltiness.
- Parsley: Freshly chopped parsley brightens up the dish; it adds a lovely pop of color and flavor.
- Salt & Pepper: Essential seasonings that enhance every layer of flavor in this recipe; season generously but taste as you go.

Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Pork: Begin by placing each pork chop between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound them gently until they’re about half an inch thick resulting in tender meat that cooks evenly.
Dredge Away: Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, another with beaten eggs, and third with panko breadcrumbs. Dip each pork chop first in flour, then egg, and finally coat them evenly with breadcrumbs.
Fry to Perfection: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Fry each schnitzel for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Sauté Those Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and turn golden brown, about 5 minutes. This step enhances their flavor wonderfully.
Make It Creamy: Pour in the chicken broth followed by heavy cream into the pan with mushrooms. Stir well and let simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes; season generously.
Combine & Serve: Return the crispy schnitzels back into the skillet and spoon some sauce over them, allowing everything to meld together beautifully for 2 more minutes. Garnish with parsley before serving hot.
