This recipe is from Cooking Light via the blog Culinary Covers. We’re not big pork chop lovers, but I had a few in the freezer that needed to be used up. While I’m still not a lover of pork chops, I did think this was a tasty recipe. The sauce was flavorful and I might use it in the future for other cuts of pork.
