Maple Pork Chops

 

March is Maple Month here in NH.  We love getting out to the sugar house and picking up a gallon of syrup and some other maple goodies. 

We frequently eat Asiago Crusted Chops, and while they are delicious, it's nice to change it up once in a while.    The sauce totally puts these chops over the top!   I used thin cut chops and used panko crumbs instead of regular. 

I served it with Roasted Asparagus with Lemon Crumbs. Outstanding.   Jake ate seconds, then asked for the sauce over his rice. Straight to the favorites file!  It's important to note that pancake syrup is not the same thing as real maple syrup, and you will not get the same results if you use it.
