Unsure what Milanese-style means? Don’t fret! We’re here to help. It’s when a piece of meat is pounded, sliced thinly or both, and coated with a breading before pan fried. Sounds intriguing, right? Well, we’ve coated a tasty pork chop with a crispy panko topping and garnished it with a fiery roasted salsa. Each bite will get better and better.
