Polish Pork Chops

Sweetiebarbara's Note:

I am not sure how Polish this is, but this is how it was given to me. I would consider this comfort food. I serve it with Mickies and a spinach salad.

While the premise sounds tasty, the pickles take away from what could be a more flavorful sauce. Try using capers. Also, the meat is cooked too well-done and comes out dry. I suggest searing for only 1 to 2 minutes per side and then reheating with the sauce. Things have changed from the old rule of not eating pork that has any pink in it. A little bit of pink will help the texture. I serve the dish with home-made potato/cheese peirogi which were 5 stars!
