Breaded Pork Chops with Chunky Applesauce

I fully intended to have this recipe posted by Saturday night, but I've had a sick baby, which has made things a bit of a challenge.  Anyhow, she is napping now so I'm getting this one out while I have a chance.  It's the perfect fall supper!  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
2 bone in, thin cut pork chops
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup regular bread crumbs
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 egg
salt & pepper
1/2 a jar of chunky apple sauce
2 tbs butter
2 tbs olive oil

Directions:
You will need three shallow bowls or dishes for the breading process.  First add flour to one of the bowls and season with a generous pinch of salt and some fresh cracked black pepper and mix.  In the second bowl beat the egg.  In the third bowl mix the panko and regular breadcrumbs together and season with more salt and pepper.  Begin heating a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add butter and olive oil to the skillet.  Begin your breading process by dipping each chop in flour, egg and breadcrumbs and place in the skillet.  Turn the chops when they start to turn golden brown, usually about 4 minutes then turn chops over and cook another 4 minutes or until golden brown.  (The chops will not take long to cook if they are thin cut.)  After the other side is browned remove chops from skillet and cover with foil.  Add 1/2 a jar of chunky applesauce to the skillet with the drippings you cooked your chops in and allow to heat through for a couple minutes.  Remove from heat and spoon applesauce over the chops.  I garnished my chops with an arugula salad and served over rice pilaf.
