  3. Add pork chops to the skillet and brown on both sides for 2-3 minutes per side.

  11. Braise for 45-60 minutes, or until pork chops are cooked through and tender. Baste occasionally with pan juices.
  12. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your choice of sweet potatoes, baked beans, or corn.
