Quite good, Jelisa, I cut the recipe in half, 3 chops, worked out fairly well, but we found them a little bland, another time i will add some more spices to "kick them up" a bit. I followed the recipe as is except for the celery, simply because I had none, did add a couple of shakes of celery salt, trying to replace it. also used olive oil rather than butter, personal preferance. All and all it is a good recipe and we will use it again, thanks for sharing.
