Tips:
- To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chops should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 150°F (66°C) for medium, or 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check for doneness by cutting into the thickest part of the chop. The meat should be slightly pink in the center for medium-rare, or no longer pink for well-done.
- To prevent the pork chops from drying out, don't overcook them. Overcooked pork chops will be tough and chewy.
- If you're using a boneless pork chop, you can cook it in a skillet over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- If you're using a bone-in pork chop, you can cook it in a skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- You can also bake pork chops in the oven. To do this, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the pork chops for about 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Pork chops can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
