Boneless pork chops are a reasonably priced cut of meat and you can sometimes find them thick cut, which helps keep them moist. Ask your butcher to cut some thicker ones for you if they are not ready packaged that way. Pan frying the chops and serving them with a rich herb and Parmesan cream sauce elevates the humble cut of meat to gourmet fare.
