Moist Baked Pork Chops image

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.

Easy, tasty, fast. Used bone-in pork chops and added a little extra time to the cooking time. Served with roasted potatoes and green beans.
