Place chop in flour then dip in beaten egg then place in breadcrumbs and push crumb onto the meat til it is properly covered. Repeat with remaining chops.
Once all chops are crumbed, heat a large non-stick fry-pan over medium heat and add enough oil to cover base of pan. Once the oil is hot place a few chops at a time and cook for 3-4 minutes per side. Reduce heat if browning too quickly. Remove to plate with paper towel lined.
