Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season the pork chops well: The lemon pepper seasoning is essential for this recipe. Be sure to coat the pork chops evenly on both sides.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: This will help prevent them from drying out. If you cook them over high heat, they will brown too quickly and become tough.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork chops are cooked to the desired doneness: The internal temperature of the pork chops should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork chop.

Conclusion:

Lemon pepper pork chops are a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that will be sure to impress your family and friends.
