This was amazing! My husband said the pork chops were better than Patty's (a well-known-for-their pork-chops restaurant in KY). The same night we ate them we called some friends of ours and invited them for supper the next week because they HAD to try these pork chops. GREAT recipe!

Can the meat be prepared in the oven. If so, at what temperature and for how long?
