Breaded Dijon Pork Chops

I’m always looking for recipes to use good Iowa pork, and this one is a winner.  Our chops were tangy and juicy, not dry!  I used good Dijon mustard, and was glad to use up some slightly stale saltines.  Don’t overcook your chops, the times are just right.                       
Breaded Dijon Pork Chops

  4             Pork Chops -- about 6 ounces each
  1             Tablespoon  Olive Oil
  1             Tablespoon  Butter
In a small bowl, combine crumbs, thyme, pepper and sage.  Spread mustard on both sides of pork chops; coat with crumbs.
In a large skillet, cook chops in fat over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  1. Oh thanks so much for this recipe. I am always looking for a good coated pork chop recipe as we eat pork chops probably once a week.

  2. Looks good! & what is the side that's picture. Am I seeing green beans, peas, maybe red pepper & maybe cannellini? Are there spices involved? That looks good too!

    1. Roasted green beans with cherry tomatoes and pine nuts...with olive oil and a little parmesan on top.
