- Place the flour in another shallow dish.
- Beat the eggs and put in another shallow dish.
- Lightly salt each side of the pork chops, then dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off any excess, then in the eggs, and finally in the panko mixture, pressing lightly to allow panko to adhere evenly to the pork chops.
