Hello Friends! I hope you are having a wonderful week! I did a little shopping this weekend while we were out of town. I just love browsing the stores with my girlfriends. We loved looking at the sweaters and cold weather outerwear. It was a little hard to get into the cold weather mode because we were all wearing shorts, but I know the season will be here before we know it.

Today’s recipe is an easy one when you want to put dinner on the table quickly. I love skillet dinners like this one because it saves on the amount of clean up. I also love the way all the flavors come together in one pan for an easy weeknight dinner.

 

I personally love to make Pan-Fried Pork chops in a cast-iron skillet. I find that they come out juicy, tender, and full of flavor. If you don’t have a cast-iron skillet, you can use a regular skillet.

This recipe entails a skillet that can go into an oven for a few minutes, so be sure that your skillet is oven ready. You can also transfer the pork chops onto a cookie sheet during the last few minutes if you don't own an oven-safe pan.

But my suggestion to you is to treat yourself to a cast-iron skillet, like this one.

These are wonderful to serve with rice or potatoes and a salad. Easy to make and you can also change up the nuts to your liking.

How to cook Pork Chops:

I love making pork chops on the stove in a skillet, but you can also easily bake pork chops in the oven. The most important thing to keep in mind is that you want the internal temperature of the chops has reached 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

• Prechop the pecans and keep them in the freezer ahead of time. This is a great tip for using nuts in other recipes.
• Make your own Pork Chop Seasoning to use in recipes. I like a combination of salt, pepper and garlic salt.
• Use bottle minced garlic to save the time of mincing. I use it a lot in my recipes and love the flavor.
• When shopping for pork chops, look for chops that are about ¾” - 1”thick. The thin ones will mean you will need to make more of them and they are not as flavorful.
