• One at a time, dip the chops in the egg mixture, then into the crumbs, pressing firmly to be sure you have a nice coating.

• Add 1-1/2 tablespoons of water to the center of the pan (don't pour it on the chops) to create steam, cover quickly and remove the pan from the heat. Let stand for 3 minutes to allow the chops to cook through.
