Simple Easy Best Pork Chops
Full dinner w/ smashed potatos and brocollini
This is momma's secret recipe. Great simple comfort food! Frying the chops in lots of butter before putting them in the oven helps to sear in juice and flavor. And putting green herbs in at the last stage of cooking ensures 1) they dont burn and 2) they preserves their aroma by the time you eat them!
