Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Place Pork Cutlets in a bowl or ziplock bag. Pour Marinade over the pork, ensuring it's fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
In a shallow dish, combine all Breading ingredients.
Remove Pork Cutlets from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Dredge each cutlet in the Breading mixture, pressing to adhere.
Heat Vegetable Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place breaded Pork Cutlets in the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove Pork Cutlets from the skillet and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
To make the Gravy, pour off excess grease from the skillet, leaving Pan Drippings. Whisk in All-Purpose Flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, creating a roux.
Gradually whisk in Chicken Broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with Salt and Black Pepper to taste.
Serve Pork Cutlets immediately with Gravy.
