I over-cooked these just a bit, but they were still delicious, just a bit dry (totally my fault!). they were quick and easy and I loved the flavor combination. I bought a big pack of super-thick pork chops at Sams Club and have been working my way through them. My BF told me that these were the best preparation of those chops that I have come up with so far (pretty high praise coming from him). I'll be making these again and will make sure to cook them the shorter time to ensure they are juicy as well as flavorful. Thanks for posting a delicious keeper!

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
