  Herbed Pan Fried Pork Chops are the perfect answer to a quick and easy dinner idea.
Growing up, one of my husband’s favorite foods was his mother’s pork roast. She always served it with applesauce and BBQ Sauce. Â My mom never fixed pork growing up. Â We were a roast beef family. Â So when we got married, Jim introduced me to the idea of pork roast and because I wanted to be a good wife I tried making him a pork roast just like his mothers. Â After a few tries I decided I was much better at pork chops.
One of our favorite, go to, last minute, I don’t know what to fix for dinner recipes, are this Lemon Hazelnut Pork Chops. So easy and so flavorful.
Today’s recipe for Herbed Pan Fried Pork Chops is just as yummy and easy. Â Keep a few boned pork chops in the freezer and with a few ingredients out of your pantry you’ll always have a delicious quick and easy dinner at your finger tips.
I used a combination of dried thyme, basil, and rosemary to season the pork chops. But feel free to add in your favorites if they are different. Use about 1 tsp of dried herbs. If you want to use fresh herbs, use 1 Tbsp. Cover the pork chops, front and back, with the herb mixture. Then dredged in the flour and allowed to rest for 10 minutes.
Give them a second coating of flour which gives them a nice light crust after they’ve been fried. It’s nothing like a full on breaded chicken fried steak but just a light coating. Pan fry them in a little oil and in a matter of minutes you’ve got a delicious dinner!
My mother in law always served mashed potatoes with her pork roast. Mashed potatoes would be e a good choice for these pork chops too.
