Crispy Pork Cutlets with a Creamy Dill Sauce
This recipe for crispy pork cutlets with a creamy dill sauce I found on Simply Recipes was SO delicious! My husband and I both thought this pork was amazing and so did our son. My daughter missed out on this recipe but I’ll make it for her soon because I know she will love it. The crispy pork cutlets were quick and easy to cook and so was the creamy dill sauce. The combination of flavors and textures was really outstanding in this dish. I loved the crispy pork drizzled with the tangy dill sauce. These pork cutlets paired very nicely with the creamy mashed potatoes and marinated grape tomatoes, shallots, and garlic I served them with.
How to Make Crispy Pork Cutlets with a Creamy Dill Sauce
Make the crispy pork cutlets by pounding the boneless pork chops between plastic wrap with a meat hammer to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut small slits around the edges of the cutlets to prevent them from curling.
Mix the flour together with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste in a shallow bowl; mix well.
Whisk the eggs together in a second shallow bowl until well combined.
Combine the panko crumbs with paprika in a third bowl; mix well.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Dredge the cutlets first in the seasoned flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and then into the panko mixture.
Working in batches, cook the cutlets for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the cutlets from the skillet onto a paper towel lined plate and cover with a tin foil tent.
Make the creamy dill sauce by adding the chicken broth into the skillet to deglaze the pan making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen the brown bits. In a small bowl mix the dill into the sour cream. Stir the sour cream mixture into the chicken broth. Heat and stir until mixture thickens (do not let boil or the sauce will curdle). Taste and season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste.
Serve the cutlets with the sauce and lemon wedges. Enjoy!

The pork cutlet looks so nicely golden and crisp and I love that creamy dill sauce too.
I would love this. Have to try that sauce.
I can’t make this recipe fast enough it looks so good!! I love nothing more than dill it is my favorite herb.
That really does sound good, recipe earmarked for future. Take care Diane
i like the idea of a sauce with this pork, especially one that’s creamy AND dilly! great idea!
This was very good and pretty easy to make. The dill sauce was so tasty with it. We served with some roasted butternut squash on the side. Would definitely recommend and make again.
Patrick,
Thank you for taking the time to let me know! I’m so glad you liked the pork and the tasty dill sauce.

can I replace the sour cream with heavy cream?
Diana,
I don’t see why not. It won’t have the tang from the sour cream but it should still be very tasty. Let me know how it turns out.
