MOIST AND TENDER BAKED PORK CHOPS
My husband loves pork chops again. He didnt like pork chops because they were always served to him dry and tough. That is until he got to sample mine. They always come out moist and tender. We have these at least two or three times a month.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- 2. Mix together black pepper, seasoning salt, garlic & onion powder. Rub evenly all over each pork chop. (Season to your taste. My husband doesnt like his as salt so I season his less.)
- 3. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over med-high heat. Lay pork chops on pan and allow to sear for 2 minutes without moving them. Flip the pork chops over and allow to sear for 1 minute longer.
- 4. Remove pork chops and place in an oven safe baking dish. I use a 19 x 13 pyrex baking dish.
- 5. Pour in the water. You will want the water to come about 1/3 the way up the pork chop.
- 6. Cover baking dish tightly. I use tinfoil and seal the sides very tight. Place in preheated oven.
- 7. Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Your pork should be at 160 degrees when done. I would not check until at least an 1 1/2 hours have past. You will let out all the steam that is keeping the chops moist.
- 8. The juices in the baking dish make a wonderful gravy.
MOIST BAKED PORK CHOPS
For perfectly prepared pork chops (preferably bone-in) you must brine them for at least 1 to 2 hours and pick chops that are at least 1/2 to 1-inch thick. The success to this dish is the brine for moistness. There are many brine variations out there for what flavor you are wanting to accomplish but, it is an important part of the overall dish.

TENDER BAKED PORK CHOPS
Pork chops are marinated in a garlic-herb marinade, baked slowly in the oven, and topped with a light mushroom gravy. These pork chops are so tender, you won't even need a knife.

Steps:
- Whisk together 1/3 cup olive oil, vinegar, garlic, thyme, parsley, and pepper flakes in a bowl. Place pork chops in a glass or ceramic baking dish and pour marinade over top. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning chops after 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour 1/4 cup chicken broth in the bottom of a shallow roasting pan.
- Remove pork chops from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard any remaining marinade.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork chops for 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to the prepared roasting pan and top with onion slices. Cover the pan tightly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- While pork chops are baking, prepare sauce. Combine 1 cup chicken broth, milk, white wine, and cremini and white mushrooms in a saucepan over medium heat; cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Add flour and bring to a boil, stirring often until thickened. Lower heat and simmer sauce until pork chops are ready.
- Remove pork chops from the oven; drain and discard chicken broth. Pour mushroom sauce over pork chops, cover, and return to the oven. Bake until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

MOIST, TENDER & CRISPY PORK CHOPS
We don't eat pork often, so when we do, it needs to be spectacular! I developed these based on a recipe from an episode of Nigella Feasts. NOTE: Zaar adds the entire amount of the frying oil, egg wash and coating to the nutritional facts panel. Generally, the entire amounts are not used completely so these chops have less fat, cholesterol & calories than stated.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help ensure that the chops stay moist and tender during cooking.
- Brine the pork chops: Brining the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar helps to tenderize the meat and add flavor. You can brine the chops for anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight.
- Sear the pork chops: Searing the pork chops in a hot skillet helps to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices. Be sure to sear the chops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
- Bake the pork chops: After searing, transfer the pork chops to a baking dish and bake them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the chops are cooked through. You can check the internal temperature of the chops with a meat thermometer; they should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest: Once the pork chops are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making the chops more tender and juicy.
Conclusion:
Baked pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for dinner or lunch. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your baked pork chops are moist, tender, and flavorful. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
