Notes
For best results, do not overcrowd the skillet when frying the pork chops. Consider marinating the pork for additional flavor. You can add Dijon mustard to the glaze for a spicy kick, or substitute chicken breasts for a lighter option. To store leftovers, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
