Notes
For best results, choose bone-in pork chops for more flavor and tenderness. Watch the sauce closely while it cooks to prevent over-thickening. Feel free to add herbs or spices for extra flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can be reheated gently on the stove or in the microwave.
