This is a simple variation of the classic German dish I tasted at a local cooking demonstration. It's very good, but I should say I don't have any reference point, not knowing what the classic tastes like. Optionally, add a shot of cream or half 'n half to the gravy. Traditionally served with spaetzle, but egg noodles or potatoes also work well.

JAEGER SCHNITZEL WITH THYME AND PARSLEY
Although in traditional German fare (my heritage) this dish is made with veal cutlets, I found beautiful boneless pork center cut chops that translated beautifully. These should be 1/2 thick or less. I decided to coat with Panko crumbs and herbs (not German!), which keeps them moist and tender. Top with the traditional Mushroom...
