Tips:

  • Tenderize the Pork Chops: For extra tender pork chops, consider using a meat mallet to tenderize them before cooking. This will help break down the muscle fibers and make the meat more succulent.
  • Use a Well-Seasoned Skillet: A well-seasoned skillet will help prevent the pork chops from sticking and will also add flavor to the dish.
  • Cook the Pork Chops Over Medium Heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the Pork Chops Only Once: Avoid flipping the pork chops too often, as this can make them tough. Flip them only once, when they are cooked about halfway through.
  • Let the Pork Chops Rest Before Serving: Once the pork chops are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.
