For best results, use high-quality Parmesan cheese and fresh lemon juice. If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the cutlets to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper after searing. Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference. More garlic will result in a more pungent crust. Panko bread crumbs provide a superior crispy texture compared to regular bread crumbs.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper. (2 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Transfer the marinade to a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Add the pork cutlets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or up to 8 hours. (5 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix well to form a crumbly topping. (3 minutes)
04
Step
1 mins
Position an oven rack approximately 5 inches from the broiler element and preheat the broiler to high. (1 minute)
05
Step
2 mins
Heat canola oil in a large, heavy, oven-safe skillet (cast iron is ideal) over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)
06
Step
4 mins
Remove the pork cutlets from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Sear the cutlets in the hot oil for about 2 minutes per side, until lightly browned but still slightly pink in the center. (4 minutes)
07
Step
1 mins
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 1 minute, allowing the pork to absorb the flavors. (1 minute)
08
Step
2 mins
Spoon the Parmesan-garlic crust mixture evenly over the cutlets in the skillet. (2 minutes)
09
Step
3 mins
Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated broiler and broil for 1 to 3 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp. Watch closely to prevent burning. (3 minutes)
