Pan-Fried Pork Chops

For many years I had a fear of eating under cooked pork. Whenever we had pork chops for dinner, I over cooked them to make sure the pork was well done. It took me years to learn how to cook pork chops without making them dry and leathery. The trick is to cook them at medium-high heat for 4 or 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. These pork chops are quick and easy, and a good starter recipe for new cooks.
