4 boneless pork or veal chops
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Directions:
1. Trim any unwanted fat from the meat, if desired.
2. Place the pork or veal chops between two layers of plastic wrap on a countertop. Using a mallet, pound the chops until they are 1/4-inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. In a shallow dish, spread the flour. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice. In a third shallow dish, spread the bread crumbs.
4. Pour vegetable oil into a large skillet to a depth of about 1/4-inch. Heat the oil to 350º F.
5. Dredge each chop in the flour, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, and finally, coat with bread crumbs.
6. Fry the chops in the hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 ºF, and are browned and crisp. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
7. Serve hot, garnished with lemon slices.
