My family all agreed that these pork chops were delicious and the recipe was a keeper. I used only half of the chili powder ( 1/4 tsp). I was afraid it would overpower the overall flavor. We will definately have these again!

I cooked this for my son and my boyfriend and I can't even begin to tell you how much all three of us enjoyed this recipe. It was absolutely delicious, not to mention very quick to prep/cook.

OMG!! these pork chops are soooooo good. they come together in no time and are so flavorful and moist. you have to be careful how fast you cook them so as you don't over cook them. when cooked properly they are amazingly delicious. i highly recommend them and have passed the recipe around. thanks.
