Parsley Panko Pork Chops

I wanted to make something special for Valentine's.  I adapted this recipe from Whole Foods website.

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Start with two bone in, thick cut pork chops (organic if possible).

Put 1/3 cup flour onto a plate (whole wheat of course)

Mix 2 tablespoons honey mustard with 1 tablespoon water in a bowl.

Put 3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs and 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley on another plate.

Dredge your chops in flour, then honey mustard, then the bread crumb mixture.  Press the bread crumbs into the pork chops.

Heat a pan on med/high.  Add a little olive oil.  Add your pork chops and brown on either side, for about 5-8 minutes each.

Place in the oven at 350 F for 20-30 minutes, depending on thickness of the meat.  The internal temp should be about 150-155.  Let the chops rest for a few minutes before cutting in. 

These chops were so large that we each had 1/2 chop leftover for lunch the next day.
