Pork Chop Recipes

I love all kinds of pork chops such as baked pork chops and Instant Pot pork chops.

This is one of the best pork chops recipes made on a skillet with garlic butter sauce, thyme, salt and pepper.

This main dish is a great dinner entree for busy weeknights and best with side dishes.

I used bone in pork chops for this garlic butter pork chops recipe. You can also use boneless but the bone adds so much extra flavors.

This recipe calls for only a few simple ingredients and it’s important to buy good quality pork chops for tender, juicy, moist and flavorful results.

Bone-in or Boneless?

I love bone-in pork rib chops or center cut as the fat and bone marrow infuse the dish with extra flavors, making the chops juicier. It’s also cheaper in price.

You may use boneless chops if you want leaner meat as the fat has been removed. The end result will be drier and less juicy.
