Pan Fried Lemon-Basil Pork

Such an easy recipe and great way to enjoy pork chops a little differently. I served these with a creamy Lemon Aioli, it was delish.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless pork chops
• 1 cup italian bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
  
• 2 tbsp fresh or dried basil, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh or dried parsley, minced
  
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
  
• 2 cloves garlic {or 2 tsp}, minced

1. Pour lemon juice in a shallow dish or bowl. In a medium mixing bowl, combine bread crumbs, basil, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix together until blended.
   
2. Rinse pork chops. Dip pork in lemon juice, then bread mixture, coating evenly.
   
3. In a saute pan over medium-high heat, heat 2 tbsp oil and garlic until lightly browned. Add pork to skillet and cook for 7 to 10 minutes. Flip pork, adding the remaining 2 tbsp oil and cover. Cook for another 7 to 10 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees on thermometer or pork is no longer pink.

Enjoy!

{Tip!} Serve with the creamy Lemon Aioli ~ see recipe in 'Dips and Spreads'.
