Note

For best results, use bone-in pork chops as they tend to stay juicier during frying.

Ensure the pan is hot before adding the pork to achieve a good sear without steaming the meat.

You can substitute green beans with asparagus or broccoli florets for a different vegetable side.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
