Pork Chops, Apples, and Greens

This is delicious and really easy to make. I used bread crumbs I bought and I didn't add the mustard because I don't like mustard flavor. Also I had to cook the pork a bit longer than it said and found it was helpful to keep the lid of the pan on to speed the cooking. 

Pork Chops, Apples & Greens

  • 4
    ounces boneless pork chops
  • 3
    slices day-old bread
  • 1
    egg
  • 1/2

    tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 6
    cups packaged baby spinach
  • Freshly ground pepper
directions1. Place each chop between waxed paper or plastic wrap. With the flat side of a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound pork to 1/2-inch thickness.2. In a food processor, process bread to crumbs; place in a shallow dish. In second shallow dish, lightly beat the egg with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Dip pork in egg and then bread crumbs to coat.3. In a 12-inch skillet, heat oil then cook pork for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden on the outside with just a trace of pink inside. Transfer chops to a platter; cover to keep warm.4. Stir honey, mustard, and vinegar into skillet drippings. Add apple slices; cook about 3 minutes, until crisp-tender. Toss in spinach; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt.5.
