Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pork chops. Look for chops that are thick and well-marbled, with a bright pink color. Avoid any chops that are thin, dry, or have a dull color.
  • Season the pork chops liberally. Seasoning helps to enhance the flavor of the pork and prevent it from becoming bland. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Sear the pork chops over high heat. Searing helps to create a delicious crust on the outside of the pork chops while keeping the inside juicy and tender. Sear the chops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
  • Reduce the heat and cook the pork chops until they are done. Once the pork chops are seared, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving. Allowing the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving helps the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Sweet pork chops are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own personal preferences. Whether you prefer them grilled, pan-fried, or baked, sweet pork chops are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
