Lemon Thyme Pork Chops Recipe

Lemon, thyme and pork … YUM. This is a great combination of flavors that really makes this pork chop dinner amazing. Pork chops are a reasonably priced cut of meat so this meal should save money on the family food budget.

This lemon thyme pork chop recipe is definitely easy enough for a weekday meal and does not require a lot of prep work. Pork chops are actually one of our favorite weekday meals to prepare.

Make sure you cook the pork chops and get them nice and brown before removing them to a plate.

You will want to serve these delicious chops with a side of baby potatoes  or our favorite parmesan crusted potatoes and green beans. Start the potatoes first before you start cooking the chops and everything should be ready at the same time.
