What are Pork Chops?
Pork chops are a cut of meat taken from the loin or rib section of a pig.
They can be thick chops or thin, but for this recipe, we recommend using thin pork chops, as they cook faster and more evenly.
You can also have bone-in pork chops or boneless chops. I recommend boneless though you can use either for this delicious dinner.

Pro Tips:

This was my excellent! I had 6 frozen boneless pork chops in my freezer that were part of a larger package. I'd tried twice to cook the other chops but they were so tough I was ready to throw these last 6 out! We tried this recipe and my husband and I couldn't believe it!! Cut with a fork and just delicious!! I even goofed and preheated my oil and noticed I was beginning to burn the chops! All survived and I've bookmarked as will make again and give some to neighbors! Love your recipes, easy to follow, and not complicated, and all of your added info!!
