1

Set the pork pieces between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a sturdy, flat surface. Pound the pork firmly with the smooth side of a meat mallet until it is 1/2 inch thick.
2

Move the pork pieces to a plate and generously season both sides with salt and black pepper; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of flour to lightly coat both sides. Pour the eggs over the pork, turning to coat.
3

Put the panko in a shallow bowl; place the pork pieces in the panko, pressing firmly to coat both sides. Set the breaded cutlets on a clean plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
4

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the pickles, jalapeño pepper, and green onions; cook and stir until the onions have softened, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle in 1 1/2 tablespoons flour; cook and stir for 3 minutes.
5

Slowly add 2 to 3 tablespoons cold milk, whisking constantly. Stir in the remaining milk, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Simmer on low for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning; set the sauce aside.
6

Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 of the breaded pork cutlets and cook until the pork is no longer pink inside and the crust is well browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
7

Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining vegetable oil and pork cutlets.
8

Serve the cutlets topped with the sauce.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
