Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pork chops. Opt for pork chops that are at least 1-inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that your chops are juicy and flavorful.
  • Don't overcook your pork chops. Pork chops are best cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality calvados. Calvados is a French apple brandy that adds a delicious flavor to the pork chops. If you don't have calvados, you can substitute apple cider or apple juice.
  • Don't crowd the pork chops in the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately. Pork chops are best enjoyed when served hot off the stove.

Conclusion:

Christy's Pork Chops Normandy is a classic French dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a beginner, Christy's Pork Chops Normandy is a recipe that you'll love.
