Wondering what to make with those boneless pork chops in your freezer?
My freezer is packed full of boneless, skinless chicken breasts and packages of boneless pork chops. One of my favorite ways to make chicken is into a paillard so why not pork paillard?
See my previous recipe for Mexican Chicken Paillard.
Pounding out the pork thin, quickly sautéing in olive oil ensures the pork is tender and full of flavor.
The parmesan cheese coating makes it crispy too!
My coating is mostly grated Parmesan cheese with a small amount of bread crumbs. If you are wanting it all low carb, then just make the coating all parmesan but don’t forget to season it well.
I’ve included photos (below) of how to butterfly and pound out the pork loin chop into the perfect paillard.
Of course, coating isn’t required, just be sure to add seasonings and spices to get the best flavor.
Serve the broccoli just simply steamed or toss steamed broccoli in olive oil that has been spiced up with garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano, salt and pepper.
The best part of the paillard is that it looks sooooo much bigger than the meat pre-pounding and we love that! It really “stretches” out the meal and looks like you are serving a huge portion, but it’s still the same chop!
With a sharp knife, slice almost in half, leaving it attached.
This is the “butterflied” pork chop.
Place the butterflied pork chop in a quart bag and gently pound evenly to get it as flat and thin as it can be without breaking holes into the meat.

Made last night. Delicious and so simple. I had all the ingredients on hand. Used a cast iron skillet. Left in the oven just a couple minutes longer. This is a winner!!!
