Ingredients

6 6 ounces of pork bone in pork chops 1" thick
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon tarragon (any herb you have will work)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup olive oil
2 eggs

Instructions

Rinse pork chops, and dry with a paper towel. Then with your hands, or a mallet, pound the pork so that it is about 1/2" thick.
Prepare 3 separate bowls for dredging. In one bowl will be the 2 eggs (completely blended.) The second bowl will have the panko, parmesan cheese, Salt, pepper and tarragon(stir to combine.) The third bowl will have the flour.
Line up your assembly line. Plate of pork chops(pounded thin), bowl of flour, bowl of eggs, panko, then a clean plate.
One at a time, using one hand only, take the pork chop, dip it into the flour, flipping to coat both sides. Then move it to the egg bowl, coating both sides. Then finally dredge it into the panko (both sides) then place the pork chop onto the empty plate. Repeat until all chops are coated.
Turn burner onto high. Place skillet on top and let heat for one minute. Then add the oil. Heat to the point when you add a piece of panko it immediately sizzles. (about 1 1/2 minutes). Once oil is ready, take dredged pork chop and add to pan making sure to add the chop going away from you. (This is so that if oil splatters it will splatter going away from you.) Add as many pork chops as will allow there to be about 1 inch in between. Reduce heat to medium high and let brown for 3 minutes until panko is golden brown. Then flip pork chops. Cook for 4-5 more minutes until pork reaches temperature of 140°. Alternatively you can cut into the pork chop and make sure it is cooked through (thats what I do.)
Repeat until all chops are cooked. Serve immediately.
