Fried Pork Chops in Lemon Butter Sauce

Ah!!! You guys!! I am so excited to share this tried and true recipe with you today. If you actually read any of my posts, you know I’m kind of a child when it comes to food. I don’t do veggies and, in my opinion, the less fancy a meal is, the better! I am perfectly content with a PB&J and a cold glass of milk 🙂 When it comes to meat, chicken is my go-to. Having said that, many of the people in my family LOVE pork chops. In fact, it’s my mom’s favorite. I rarely eat it, but that recently changed when we made a new pork chops recipe at last month’s photo shoot day.

I had seen that we were slated to make fried Pork Chops in lemon butter sauce, and although I wasn’t excited about them I’m glad I caved and gave them a try. They were SO INCREDIBLY good! These pork chops were crunchy on the outside, super tender and juicy on the inside and so flavorful. You’ve got to try it for yourself! Everyone loved this recipe and I couldn’t be more proud of myself for loving it too. I think I’m a grown up now! 😉

Fried to perfection!

This would make a great dinner idea for any night!

These fried Pork Chops are now a new favorite. Everyone who already loved pork chops definitely loved this recipe, which means it will be made time and time again in the coming months. 😉
