Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Salt and pepper both sides of each pork chop. Heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in an oven-proof skillet big enough to hold all four pork chops.
- Brown the pork chops, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the chops from the pan and transfer to an ovenproof platter; place in oven. Remove when the pork is just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
- While the pork chops are in the oven, prepare the sauce. Heat a tablespoon of oil on medium high heat in the same skillet you used to brown the chops.
- Sauté the shallots until soft and golden. Add the wine and water and let boil down for 1-2 minutes, scraping up the brown bits.
- Add the blueberries. When the skins begin to burst, add the lemon zest and juice. Let the sauce continue to boil and thicken until the pork chops are ready.
- Once the pork chops are ready, remove the pan from the oven and place the pork chops on a cutting board and let them rest while finishing the sauce.
- Turn the heat off under the saucepan and stir in the butter until it is completely melted. If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt.
- Serve the pork chops either whole or sliced, topped with the blueberry sauce and fresh parsley.

SAVORY BRINED PORK CHOPS
If you prefer savory pork chops instead of sweet ones, give this recipe a try. It has a good garlic flavor with just a hint of kick from the chile powder. The marinade is designed to brine and marinate the meat at the same time, producing a more tender result. Don't let the cooking time scare you: these are very easy to make, and require very little attention on your part.

SAVORY SWISS CHARD WITH PORK CHOPS AND POTATOES
A favorite ... This came from a little cook book a girlfriend sent me for a Christmas present one year. Now I added my twist, but basically, this was the recipe. A one dish wonder. Now I love swiss chard and kale and I think they are way under used, so I absolutely love this dish. Now the original dish didn't have potatoes, but I love to add some sliced new potatoes to this dish and it makes it a complete dish. Add some fresh homemade or a good bakery loaf of pumpernickel and roasted peaches over vanilla ice cream for desert.

Steps:
- Casserole -- First remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature. Brush well with 1 tablespoon olive oil and then season well with salt, pepper and paprika on both sides.
- Next, spray the casserole dish with a non stick spray and add the swiss chard and top with the sliced onions. Add some salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil (1 tablespoon). Lightly toss. Then top with the chicken broth and the 4 pork chops.
- NOTE: If you want you could pan sear the pork chops first if you want as one reviewer mentioned, but I don't. But if would give a nice color to the chops if you prefer.
- Cheese -- Sprinkle the cheeses on top of the swiss chard and onions, around the pork chops.
- Potatoes -- In a small bowl add the potatoes, remaining olive oil, salt, pepper and dried thyme and then add them on top of the swiss chard and cheese around the pork chops.
- Bake -- 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes until the chops are done.
- Garnish -- I love to put a good balsamic vinegar on the table so each person can just drizzle a little on if they want. For me the flavor is amazing.
- Just Enjoy!

PORK CHOPS WITH SAVORY APPLE STUFFING
This is an easy and delicious way to serve pork chops--another of my favorite warm and hearty comfort foods. The pork chops turn out juicy and are complimented by the stuffing flavored with apples, garlic, onions and savory seasonings. In my opinion, homemade stuffing rivals any store-bought mix. The stuffing under the pork chops is moistened and flavored by the meat juices while the stuffing on the surface is crispy and buttery--my favorite part! If you desire all of your stuffing to be moist, cover the baking pan with aluminum foil while in the oven. Enjoy!

Steps:
- lay pork in 13x9 baking dish.
- sprinkle generous amounts of lavender flower, rosemary (preferably ground), marjoram, salt & pepper to taste.
- drizzle a small amount of honey over the top of the pork.
- turn over and repeat the seasoning on the other side.
- sprinkle a small amount of brown sugar over the top of the pork before placing into the oven.
- cook at 35o degrees for about 30-45 minutes depending on the thickness of the pork.
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, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork chops by cutting into one of them. The meat should be opaque throughout, with no pink in the center.
- To add more flavor to the pork chops, try marinating them for at least 30 minutes before cooking. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or you can get creative and try a more complex marinade.
- If you're cooking the pork chops in a skillet, be sure to use a heavy-bottomed skillet that will distribute the heat evenly. This will help prevent the pork chops from sticking to the pan and burning.
- To make sure the pork chops are cooked through, cook them over medium heat for 8-10 minutes per side. If you're cooking the pork chops in the oven, bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes per side.
Conclusion:
Savory pork chops are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a variety of marinades and cooking methods to choose from, there are endless possibilities for creating a pork chop dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for an easy and flavorful meal, give savory pork chops a try!
