  • 7 to 8 breakfast chops (very thin bone-in pork chops)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. seasoned salt

Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on the other side, or until no pink juices remain. Remove the cooked pork chops to a clean plate and repeat with the remaining chops.
