I am not good at that getting the external crispy, and at the same time getting the inside cooked to temperature. I used this recipe but after browning the pork chops in a smokin' hot pan, I baked them in the oven at 375 for about 10-12 minutes. They were moist, juicy and wonderful!

I tried and liked them. Very simple. The only thing I did differently was first seasoned my chops with garlic and herb McCormick seasoning, then dipped each chop in milk (normally use buttermilk but did have so used 2%) the dredge in flour. Then fried. Served with mash potatoes and brocoli. Super Simple! Thanks for sharing

Made for Pick-A-Chef, Spring 2009. Oh did this ever bring back memories of watching my beloved grandma cook her pork chops this very way when I was little. Getting back to the basics was delicious! Thanks for posting and reminding me.

This is how we always cooked pork chops (and chicken) when I was growing up. Try using a bit of garlic powder and replace the regular salt with seasoned salt. Also, try sprinkling a little of the seasonings on the chops themselves, in addition to the flour. They are much better that way. Cooking these chops in a heavy cast iron skillet is the key to getting DELICIOUS results!

Really liked this. Don't have a lot of luck with pork chops, mine come out dry :( With your recipe they came out tender and very tasty. Thanks for passing along this recipe :)
