WOW great recipe. My DH and oldest DS eat pork because I make it but with this recipe they LOVE pork. Thank you so much for a wonderful recipe. I will make this over & over again.

This was a delicious way to prepare chops. We forgot to pound the chops thin, but it turned out great anyway. Also, I agree, do NOT forget the lemon slices, it was just an amazing flavour. Thanks for posting!

YUM! Sooo easy and my whole family loves these! Crispy and moist. Don't just garnish with the lemon slices, squeeze them over the chops and give them an outstanding taste. I halve the recipe for my family.
