Notes

Just a quick meal for two or a generous he-man dinner for one.
One can rest the chops for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute. And use this time to create a pan sauce for a side dish.  This goes well over potatoes (mashed as well as fried) or freshly baked bread, rolls, or biscuits.
