Pork Loin Cutlets with Lemon-Thyme Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make main dish that is perfect for busy weeknights. The thin-cut pork chops are coated in flour and pan-fried to perfection, resulting in juicy and tender cutlets. The creamy and tangy lemon-thyme sauce is the perfect accompaniment, adding a refreshing burst of flavor to the dish. This recipe is a great option for those looking to add more protein to their diet without sacrificing taste or convenience.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 200°F and place a baking sheet inside.
2.	In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, thyme, lemon zest, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
3.	Lightly coat each pork cutlet with flour, shaking off any excess.
4.	Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork cutlets in batches and cook until browned and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Place the cooked cutlets on the warm baking sheet in the oven to keep them warm.
5.	Reduce heat to medium and whisk any remaining flour into the skillet to make a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown, then whisk in the milk until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
6.	Add the lemon-thyme mixture to the skillet and stir until combined. Serve the cutlets with the sauce poured on top.
