🍯🌶️ Honey-Chipotle Glazed Pork Cutlets
Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, with a sweet, smoky, slightly spicy glaze that makes these pork cutlets seriously addictive! This is an easy weeknight dinner that tastes like something you’d order at a restaurant.
🥩 Ingredients
For the pork:
6 pork cutlets
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
1 egg
2 tbsp milk
2 tbsp olive oil
For the Honey-Chipotle Glaze:
⅓ cup honey
2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo, finely chopped
1 tbsp adobo sauce
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp butter
1 clove garlic, minced
Juice of ½ lime
Optional toppings:
Fresh cilantro
Thinly sliced green onions
Lime wedges
Crumbled queso fresco
👨🍳 Let's Cook!
1. Make the crispy coating
Combine panko, Parmesan, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
2. Prep the egg wash
Whisk the egg and milk together in another bowl.
3. Coat the pork
Dip each cutlet into the egg mixture, then press firmly into the seasoned panko mixture so you get a nice, crunchy coating.
4. Get them crispy
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the cutlets for about 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until golden brown and the pork reaches 145°F internally. Transfer to a plate and let them rest.
5. Make the glaze
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add honey, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire, butter, garlic, and lime juice. Stir for 1–2 minutes until glossy and slightly thickened.
6. Bring it together
Return the pork cutlets to the skillet and spoon the glaze over both sides. Let them cook for another 30–60 seconds so that sticky glaze coats the crispy crust.
