Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 4 4 oz. boneless center-cut pork loin chops
• ½ cup bread crumbs
• ¼ tsp. paprika
• ¼ tsp. garlic powder
• ¼ tsp. black pepper
• ¼ tsp. salt
• 1 tbsp. olive oil; plus 1 tsp. for oiling the pan
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp. milk
• ¼ cup corn starch
• 4 oz. prepared sauerkraut
• 2 cups unsweetened apple sauce
• 10 oz. steamable bag of frozen broccoli

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Pound the 4- 4 oz. boneless center cut pork loin chops to ¼ inch thick by placing the chops in a single layer on a cutting board, covering with plastic wrap, and gently hitting them with a heavy sauce pan or a meat mallet.
3. Sprinkle cornstarch on both sides of the chops. Gently pat and set aside.
4. In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and 1 tbsp. olive oil.
5. Wisk together milk and egg in another bowl.
6. Line a baking sheet with foil then coat with the additional 1 tsp. olive oil.
7. Dip each chop into the egg mixture and then dredge both sides of the chops with the bread crumbs so they are coated completely. Pat gently to assure the crumbs stick.
8. Place the chops on the baking sheet and place in the oven. Cook until golden brown and the center is no longer pink and the internal temperature reads 160 degrees F.
9. While the chops are baking, microwave the steamable bag of broccoli, according to package directions.
10. Serve each plate with 1 chop topped with 1/4th of the sauerkraut, alongside a ½ cup of unsweetened applesauce and 1/4th of the broccoli.
