STORY BEHIND THE DISH

My Dad has mastered quick, easy, & delicious pork chops. I always remember coming home to a home cooked meal after a long day of school followed by a long night of practice & when it was pork chops it was a great night. I tried to make a healthier take on his pan fried pork chops & they turned out better than I expected!

MODIFICATIONS 

There are many modifications that can be made to this dish. You can use standard bone-in pork chops, you can also roast them in the oven. If you want a breaded style pork chop add a light coat of flour to the pork chop with a little egg white to hold the breading. This dish pairs well with garlic mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, red smashed potatoes, & grilled veggies.
