Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Pork Chops

Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes.

2

Bread the Chops

Dredge each pork chop in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.

3

Fry the Chops

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

4

Prepare the Arugula Salad

In a bowl, toss arugula with lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

5

Assemble the Dish

Place a bed of the dressed arugula on each plate. Top with the fried pork chop, a generous spoonful of tomato chutney, and slices of fresh mozzarella.
