JUICY GRILLED THIN-CUT PORK CHOPS
I am posting this because these are the juiciest pork chops I've ever come across, even the second day. I hate left over pork chops because they are always dry. I usually make my via Shake & Bake, but only make two to avoid any leftovers. I saw this on Cook's Country and thought, why not, I love grilling and buying 4 at a time is usually the better bargain. I was shocked how juicy and tender they were. I have found my new leftover pork chop recipe. I hope you will too with this one.

Steps:
- Remove chops from store packaging, pat dry with paper towels. Cut (3) 1/2" slits near the outer edge of each chop. Season each chop with salt, both sides, rubbing salt into meat. Place on sheet pan covered with parchment paper or wax paper. Place in freezer for 30 minutes to an hour. Chops need to be firm but not completely frozen.
- In meantime, mix 2 tablespoons butter, brown sugar, & pepper in small bowl, set aside. DO NOT put in fridge.
- Mix 2 tablespoons butter, chives, mustard, & lemon zest in another bowl and refrigerate until solid. NOTE: You can do this a day ahead of time.
- Preheat grill and oil (with vegetable oil) grates. While grill is heating remove chops from freezer. Pat dry again with paper towels, baste both sides with butter, brown sugar mixture.
- Once grill is hot place chops on and grill 3-4 minutes each side. Meaty part of chop should face center. Remove from grill and dollop with chive butter. Cover gently and let sit for 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy.

Steps:
- Trim fat from pork chops, coat in flour (I season with salt and pepper) and brown pork
- Layer pork chops in crock pot.
- Cover with sliced onions and celery.
- Pour soup over.
- Cook on low 5-6 hours.
- Can serve pork chops separately, but they are usually so tender that they fall apart into large pieces. We cook additional rice and serve the chops and sauce over it. Is a great combination between a stew, soup and meat!
Tips:
- Choose the Right Pork Chops: Select bone-in pork chops at least 1-inch thick for extra flavor and juiciness.
- Season Wisely: Use a flavorful blend of spices and herbs like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to enhance the pork's natural taste.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Cook the pork chops in batches to prevent overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking and steamed rather than seared meat.
- Sear Perfectly: Sear the pork chops over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. This creates a delicious crust and locks in the juices.
- Reduce the Heat: After searing, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking for 8-10 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Let it Rest: Allow the cooked pork chops to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This helps redistribute the juices and results in more tender and flavorful meat.
Conclusion:
With careful preparation and cooking techniques, you can create juicy and flavorful pork chops that will satisfy even the most discerning palate. Remember to select high-quality pork chops, season well, sear perfectly, and cook to the right internal temperature. Don't forget to let the meat rest before serving for maximum enjoyment. Happy cooking and enjoy your delicious pork chops!
