What Other Food It Works Well With

Common Mistakes
-Not preheating the oven: This will result in the veal chops taking longer to cook and the bread crumbs will not be as crispy.
-Not coating the veal chops evenly in the bread crumb mixture: This will result in some of the chops not being as well-seasoned.
-Not using enough olive oil: This will result in the bread crumbs not sticking to the chops and will also make them more likely to dry out while cooking.
