PARMESAN BREADED PORK CHOPS WITH CHUNKY TOMATO SAUCE
This recipe is for 4 thick-cut pork chops you can double the amounts if desired. This is a very good pork chop recipe that I developed recently! A large electric frypan works perfectly for this! Use a thicker-cut of pork chops for this 1/2 to 3/4-inch thickness. Serve the chops and sauce on top of cooked pasta with a side order of recipe#105726 or recipe#152138 --- if you like lots of sauce then increase the tomato sauce by 1 cup or a little more.
