I love pork chops but I’m pretty picky with how I like mine cut. I prefer thick cut pork chops and I really prefer center cut pork chops. These are exactly that, Circle B Ranch center cut pork chops about 1 3/4 inch thick. They are great for stuffing too, however being it was my first time making Circle B Ranch center cut pork chops, I went with this recipe and topped it off with Marina’s Cranberry Chutney. The cranberry chutney was a last minute addition and it was a perfect combination with the pork chops. I served them over The Social Chef sautéed escarole, hickory smoked bacon and cannelloni beans.
