This recipe originally says to cook the pork chops 3-4 minutes on each side. My personal preference is to cook them longer, because I think cooking them in so short a time makes them tough. Just my opinion. Feel free to experiment with the cooking time. Recipe & photo: tasteofhome.com/simple 01-11-15
