I call this recipe Texas pork chops because when you pound a boneless chop and coat it in Panko crumbs, it will come out the size of the plate.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These satisfying pork chops fill up the plate and remind you how big Texas is. They have a slightly sweet and savory flavor and would make a wonderful special dinner or a hearty family meal. The "special egg wash" brought more flavor to the pork and allowed the Panko breading to adhere nicely. Crunchy outside and juicy inside, this pork chop recipe deserves a spot on your weekly dinner rotation.
