Manda... these pork chops were AWESOME! I normally bread my pork chops and bake them, which my family seems to like, but I was in the mood to try something different... boy was I glad I did! My husband normally doesn't say much when I try out a new recipe, but he really loved these! I followed the recipe almost exactly, except that I didn't thicken the sauce with the cornstarch. I accidently over looked that step. I will definitely be making these again! Thanks for posting! -Kim :)

These are by far one of the best pork chops I have ever tasted. My whole family loves them. I used sherry instead of the beef broth and did not thicken the sauce. Excellent recipe

I was looking for something different. We really enjoyed these. We are big garlic fans so I ended up using a lot more garlic. I will definitely make these again!
