Low Carb Parmesan Herb Pork SchnitzelsSchnitzels, or “chicken-fried steaks” are a popular dish all over the world, but how about a pork version? Our Low Carb Parmesan Herb Pork Schnitzels are crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside.

We like to serve ours with a side of Buttery Cauliflower Mash and a squeeze of Lemon. They’re also great accompanied by our Sour Cream & Chive Broccoli Mash.

The recipe makes 4 serves. These schnitzels can easily be cooked ahead of time, sliced and added to a salad for lunch or dinner.

While we’ve used pork top round steaks for our schnitzels, boneless pork chops, loin and tenderloin also work well.
