Healthy Breaded Pork Chops

Ingredients:

• 4 thin, natural boneless pork cutlets (approximately 110 g each)
• 3 tbsp sour cream
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• Green salad with apple slices, for serving

Preparation:

1. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 220°C (425°F). Place a rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
2. Place the pork chops between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound until about 0.5 cm thick. Sprinkle the entire meat with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and a small amount of freshly ground black pepper. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of sour cream and 1 teaspoon of mustard and brush the chops on all sides with this mixture.
3. Mix on a plate panko breadcrumbs and parsley and coat the chops in them. Generously spray both sides with cooking spray and place on a rack on the prepared baking sheet. Bake on the bottom rack, turning halfway through, until the pork chops are golden brown, crispy, and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and vinegar with 2 teaspoons water, the remaining 2 tablespoons sour cream, and the remaining 1 teaspoon mustard. Serve the chops with the sauce and a green salad.
