Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the pork chops in your favorite seasonings for a few hours before cooking. You can use frozen spinach if fresh isn’t available. Just make sure to thaw and drain it well before adding it to the dish. Consider adding grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce for a cheesy twist! To store leftovers, place the pork chops and sauce in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3 to 4 days.
