THE BEST JUICY SKILLET PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Take the pork chops out of the refrigerator and season on both sides with salt - we use just less than 1/4 teaspoon of fine salt per pork chop. Set the chops aside to rest for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the spice rub. In a small bowl, mix the flour, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
• After 30 minutes, use a paper towel to pat the pork chops dry, then rub both sides of the chops with the spice rub.
• Heat the oil in a skillet (with a lid) over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and looks shimmery, add the pork. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Flip the pork so that the seared side is facing up. If there is a fattier side of the pork, use kitchen tongs to hold the chops, fat-side-down until it sizzles and browns slightly; about 30 seconds.
• Reduce the heat to low, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook 6 to 12 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145° F when inserted into the thickest part of the chop. Cook time depends on the thickness of the chops, so check for doneness at 5 minutes, then go from there, checking every 2 minutes after that. If you do not have a thermometer, you will know they are done, if, when cutting into the chops, the juices run clear.
• Transfer pork chops to a plate, then cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes.
• While the pork rests, make the pan sauce. Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the chicken stock, vinegar, and honey. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan so that any stuck bits of pork come up.
• Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Taste, then adjust the seasoning with additional salt, vinegar, or honey.
• Slide the skillet off of the heat and when the sauce is no longer simmering, swirl in the butter.
• Slide the pork chops back into the pan and spoon some of the sauce on top. Alternatively, slice the chops, then place them back into the pan. Scatter fresh parsley over the pork, and then serve.

QUICK BBQ PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Cook chops in hot oil in large skillet on medium-high heat 4 to 5 min. on each side or until done (160ºF).
• Pour barbecue sauce over chops; cover. Cook on low heat until sauce is heated through.

DUMP-AND-BAKE BONELESS PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray (I used a 10-inch round dish, but any dish that holds your pork chops will work).
• Arrange sliced onion and sliced apples in the bottom of the prepared dish.
• Place pork chops on top of apples and onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl (or in a jar), whisk together (or shake) soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and olive oil until completely combined. Drizzle sauce over the pork chops.
• In a large bowl, mix together dry stuffing mix and melted butter. Spread evenly over the pork chops.
• Cover dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-20 minutes, or until pork is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. The cooking time will vary based on the size and thickness of your pork chops. If the topping starts to get too brown before the pork is done, just lightly cover with foil for the remaining baking time.

BEST BAKED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix dry rub ingredients (brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, salt and garlic powder) together in a bowl. Lay pork chops on a cutting board, rub 1/2 dry rub on side facing up.
• Flip over allowing excess to fall off and rub remaining rub on other side.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Put coated pork chops on baking sheet.
• Slice butter into 4 equal sized pieces and lay on top of each chop. Sprinkle with thyme.
• Bake for 12 minutes, then let rest on pan for 5-10 minutes to maintain juiciness.
• Enjoy.
