Pork Milanese is an elegant take on pan-fried pork chops\u2014one that’s refined yet easy enough to whip up for a casual weeknight dinner. And unlike some other\u00a0easy pork chop recipes<\/a>, which can be heavy in a meat-and-potatoes kind of way, our pork Milanese recipe will leave you feeling light. The lemony, Parmesan-rich bread crumb topping gives the pork a sophisticated finish and pairs perfectly with a glass of crisp white wine and a side salad.<\/p>\n

What Is Pork Milanese?<\/h2>\n

Pork Milanese is made by breading thin slices of boneless pork chops and pan-frying them until the crumb coating is crisp. The breading typically includes grated Parmesan cheese and lemon zest. Milanese is often served with lemon wedges for freshness, plus an arugula salad topped with more Parmesan.<\/p>\n

Milanese originated in Milan, Italy, and is sometimes called cotoletta alla Milanese<\/em> (Milanese-style cutlet). They can be made with pork, veal, chicken or even beef, so long as the meat is pounded thin to help it cook quickly. Although this dish is distinctly Italian, it shares similarities with other breaded, pan-fried recipes like pork schnitzel<\/a>, chicken katsu<\/a>, chicken-fried steak<\/a> and eggplant Parmesan<\/a>.<\/p>\n
