Pork chops and apple sauce

This is one of my husband's favorite dinners and since he won't be home for valentine's day we are going to have an early family dinner tonight.

Preheat the oven to 450. If you have a heavy Le Creuset pan, use it, if not, use a skillet, then transfer to a cookie sheet.

Heat 1 Tbs. of oil in the pan on medium high heat. While the oil heats, place 1 C. of panko and 1 tsp. garlic salt onto a plate. Rinse the pork chops, spread a little bit of dijon mustard on each side of the chop and dredge them in the panko mixture.

You can use bone-in or boneless chops, but buy thick cut ones.

Cook the chops for 3-4 minutes one each side or until they begin to turn golden. Turn the chops only once.

Transfer the pan with the chops into the oven and bake for about 12 minutes.

I am going to serve this with potato latkes, apple sauce and boiled edamame.
