Instructions
- On a plate, combine the flour, salt, and pepper, creating a seasoned coating for the pork chops.
- Dredge both sides of the pork chops in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour to ensure a light coating.
- Lightly spray a skillet with the olive oil flavored cooking spray and preheat it over medium-high heat until hot.
- Carefully place the coated pork chops in the skillet and brown them for approximately two minutes on each side, achieving a golden crust.
- Once browned, generously spread the pesto sauce over the tops of the chops and cover the skillet with a lid.
- Continue cooking for an additional two minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chops reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring they are fully cooked and juicy.
- Remove from heat and serve hot, savoring the flavorful combination of tender pork and aromatic pesto.
