Notes

Tips For Success

As a rule of thumb, one pound of pork will serve 4 people. Allowing 1/4 pound per person. Slice the pork chops and divide them between 4 plates.

Use a good quality skillet to brown any type of meat. A cast iron skillet works well here as does a Carbon Steel Pan. Avoid using a non-stick skillet as they are notorious for not conducting heat well. Your pork chops won't brown as nicely.
