Honey Mustard Pork Chops
Honey Mustard Pork Chops | Who doesn’t love a pork chop that is packed with layers of flavor? I know I do…..that’s why this is my all time favorite pork chop recipe. Starting with a honey mustard coating and the perfect crust combination of bread crumbs, thyme and lemon zest. These chops were just as good the next day as the first.
If I know I’m going to have a busy week I usually plan on making a double batch of these sweet and sticky chops. I like serving them with my Lemony Leftover Baked Potatoes. Another great dish that is just as good as the first day.
