Steps:
- Place pork between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound pork with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
- Place pork pieces on a plate and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over pork pieces, lightly coating both sides. Pour eggs over pork, turning to coat.
- Transfer pork pieces to a bowl filled with panko bread crumbs. Press bread crumbs firmly into the meat on both sides. Transfer breaded cutlets to a clean plate, cover with plastic and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in pickles, jalapeno pepper, and green onions; cook and stir until onions have softened, about 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle in 1 1/2 tablespoon flour. Cook and stir for 3 minutes.
- Slowly stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons cold milk, whisking constantly. Stir in remaining milk, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Simmer on low for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Heat half the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 breaded pork cutlets and cook until pork is not longer pink inside, and the crust is well-browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- Pound pork chops between 2 sheets waxed paper or plastic wrap until very thin, about 1/8 inch.
- Mix flour, salt, and pepper together in a shallow bowl. Dredge both sides of each pork chop through flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat until butter starts to sizzle. Add shallots and pork chops in 1 layer, working in batches if needed. Cook pork chops until golden brown and almost cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a baking dish and lightly tent with aluminum foil, reserving the shallots and browned bits of food in the skillet.
- Bake pork chops in the preheated oven until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
- Pour wine and chicken stock into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced by half, 2 to 5 minutes. Stir lemon juice into sauce.
- Drizzle sauce over pork chops and top with parsley, lemon zest, and capers.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the cutlets with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold all of the cutlets in one layer. When the oil is very hot add the meat and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until browned. Turn the slices and cook about 5 minutes more. Reduce the heat and cook about 2 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Transfer the meat to a warm serving dish. Cover with foil and keep warm.
- Pour off the fat from the skillet, then add the onion, garlic and capers. Cook, stirring until the onion is lightly browned. Add the vinegar, mustard, chicken broth and tomato paste. Stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom of the pan. Cook until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Add any juices that may have accumulated around the cutlets. Add the butter, if desired. Blend well.
- Add the cutlets to the skillet, bring to a simmer and serve immediately sprinkled with parsley.

Steps:
- Place pork cutlets between two sheets of parchment paper; using a meat mallet or a small, heavy skillet, pound to 1/8 inch thick. Season both sides of pork with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, add pork to pan, and cook, flipping once, until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. (If pan becomes dry, add more oil.) Transfer to a platter.
- Drizzle lemon juice over pork, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Garnish with Parmesan curls and parsley. Serve with lemon wedges and mustard.
Tips and Conclusion
Tips:
- To ensure the pork cutlets are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) before removing them from the pan.
- If you don't have capers on hand, you can substitute another briny ingredient such as chopped pickles or olives.
- For a crispy crust on the pork cutlets, be sure to sear them over high heat until they are golden brown before reducing the heat to medium-low.
- If you are using a boneless loin chop, you may need to butterfly it before cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Serve the pork cutlets immediately with the lemon-caper sauce to enjoy the best flavor.
Conclusion:
This recipe for pork cutlets with lemon and capers is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tangy lemon, briny capers, and tender pork is sure to please everyone at the table.
