  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will ensure that the pork chops have enough room to cook evenly without overcrowding.
  • Season the pork chops well: Generously season the pork chops with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help enhance their flavor.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking over medium heat will allow the pork chops to cook through without burning.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet: To prevent steaming, avoid overcrowding the skillet with pork chops. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the pork chops are cooked to perfection, use a meat thermometer to check their internal temperature. The ideal internal temperature for pork chops is 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: Before serving, allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
