Step 1
Place pork between plastic wrap and pound until 1/4-inch thick. Season all over with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Whisk egg in a shallow bowl. Mix flour with 1 tsp paprika and a pinch of salt in another bowl.
Step 3
Coat pork in flour mixture, shake off excess, then dip in egg and coat again in flour.
Step 4
Heat 3 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Sear pork 2 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5
In the same skillet, whisk remaining 1 tbsp paprika, sour cream, and broth into the drippings over medium heat until smooth, 2 minutes.
Step 6
Return pork to the skillet and coat in sauce. Serve immediately with egg noodles or a simple salad.
