Tips:

  • Use a meat mallet to tenderize the pork chops before cooking. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the pork chops. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will cause them to steam rather than fry.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. They are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Butterflied pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your butterflied pork chops are cooked perfectly every time.
