Instructions

Pound the Pork: Use a meat tenderizer to gently pound the pork chops until they're about ½ inch thick, and season each side with kosher salt and pepper.
Prepare the Breading: Lightly beat the eggs in one bowl. In another bowl, combine the seasoned panko bread crumbs and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Coat the Chops: Dip each pork chop into the egg, ensuring full coating, then transfer to the breadcrumb mixture and press gently.
Heat the Oil: Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the pork chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, reaching an internal temperature of 145°F. Remove and let rest.
Make the Salad: Place arugula in a bowl and toss gently with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Dress the Arugula: Squeeze lemon juice over the arugula and drizzle with olive oil. Toss well.
Finish the Salad: Add freshly shaved parmesan cheese to the arugula and toss gently again.
Serve Together: Slice the rested pork and plate it over the lemon arugula. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pound the pork evenly for optimal cooking results.
You can adjust the amount of lemon juice based on your taste preference.
For extra flavor in the salad, consider adding cherry tomatoes or avocado.
