Pork Schnitzel with Creamy Dill Sauce

Step 1

Combine sour cream, relish and dill in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 2

Using a meat mallet or a small heavy saucepan, pound each pork chop between pieces of plastic wrap to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle the pork with garlic powder and salt.

Step 3

Place flour in a shallow dish. Lightly beat egg in another shallow dish. Add panko to a third shallow dish. Dredge the pork in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip in the egg, then dredge in the panko, pressing to adhere.

Step 4

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, cook the pork, flipping once, until golden and crispy and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 145°F, 4 to 6 minutes. (Alternatively, use an air fryer: Coat the basket with cooking spray. Place the pork in a single layer in the basket. Cook, in batches if necessary, at 360°F until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 145°, about 10 minutes. If preparing in batches, cooking time for the second batch may be shorter.)

Step 5

Sprinkle the pork with pepper. Garnish with additional chopped dill, if desired, and serve with the reserved sauce and lemon wedges.
