I'm allergic to pork, so I substituted chicken. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pork chops turned out tough and chewy.

I thought this dish was just okay. The pork chops were a little dry and the sauce was a bit bland.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the pork chops were cooked perfectly.
