What to Make With Boneless Pork Chops

[babywings76]

I'm not very experienced with cooking pork, aside from Shake N Bake. Does anyone have any good recipes to go with boneless pork chops? They are the thin kind.

Cook them with sauerkraut and have mashed potatoes on the side! You'll need to add some other veggie for color.

Egg noodles with butter or kraft mac & cheese.

You lost me as soon as you said sauerkraut! :yuck: lol For some reason, I just can't stand the stuff. It's really popular out here in Dutch Country, though!

Me either:yuck: but all of the other suggestions sound good!

I guess I just really don't know how to cook them at all, stove top, grill pan, oven on a stone, on a sheet pan? Temperature? Time?

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Don't over-cook them. They dry out really quickly.

Here are a couple recipes


Caramel Apple Pork Chops

INGREDIENTS
4 (3/4 inch) thick pork chops
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tart apples - peeled, cored and sliced
3 tablespoons pecans (optional)


DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). Place a medium dish in the oven to warm.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush chops lightly with oil and place in hot pan. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally, or until done. Transfer to the warm dish, and keep warm in the preheated oven.
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, salt and pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add butter to skillet, and stir in brown sugar mixture and apples. Cover and cook until apples are just tender. Remove apples with a slotted spoon and arrange on top of chops. Keep warm in the preheated oven.
Continue cooking sauce uncovered in skillet, until thickened slightly. Spoon sauce over apples and chops. Sprinkle with pecans.


Honey-Pecan Pork Chops (this is one of my favorites! And would be really good with thin chops.)

INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 pounds boneless pork loin, pounded thin
1/2 cup all-purpose flour for coating
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup chopped pecans


DIRECTIONS
In a shallow dish, mix together flour, salt and pepper. Dredge pork cutlets in the flour mixture.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add chops, and brown both sides. Transfer to a warm plate.
Mix honey and pecans into the pan drippings. Heat through, stirring constantly. Pour sauce over cutlets.

Do you have the 29 Minutes to Dinner cookbook? I make the Apple Glazed Chicken with boneless pork chops & follow the recipe. Delish! It also has an apple slaw/salad that goes with it.

Search foodnetwork.com for Pork Milanese (had it last night!!). It's a Giada recipe, but easy. Bread crumbs, seasonings and parmesean make a coating, then you fry. The Creamy Orzo from that episode is great, too.

Unfortunately I don't have that cookbook yet. After all the rave reviews of it, though, it's on my wish list for kit enhancement month.

When I do pork chops, I just throw them in the DCB with a bottle of Zesty Italian Salad Dressing on top. Bake at 350 for about an hour and they're great. I usually serve them with mashed potatoes too, and a green salad.

 

[babywings76]

Thanks everyone for the recipes!

If you have a crock pot, I would put it in there with beef broth, yams and onions. It is delish...and I don't like yams!

1. Put a bit of olive oil in a pan, slice up a couple garlic cloves, throw in 1/4 cup capers. After the garlic is browned nicely, lay pork chops on top. I usually sprinkle some paprika on top, and then again on the other side once you flip them. They cook up pretty quickly on the stove and with the nicely browned garlic, they are fabulous.2. Put a bit of olive oil on the LBP, lay down the chops, squirt a bit of ketchup on each, smooth out with a spoon. Sprinkle on garlic salt and pepper. Cook at 375 for about 1/2 hour. Easy and good.

I put cream cheese and jalopeno peppers in the middle, roll up and secure with a toothpick, and then brush Dale's seasoning on the outside. Bake on 350degrees until done arond 20 minutes or so.

My favorite way to make pork chops is with yellow curry and orange juice. Place porkchops in a large skillet. Season with salt and pepper and dried yellow curry (what you'd find in your regular spice aisle at the grocery store). Sprinkle curry over chops to coat then pour orange juice over - enough to cover the bottom of skillet. Cook until no longer pink and OJ has carmalized. Serve with mashed potatoes - the carmalized OJ is great over the taters.

AuGratin potatoes and green beans are always delicious with pork chops and gives the plate more color!

 

[ChefPaulaB]

I like to make scalloped potatoes (my favorite recipe is in the Betty Crocker cookbook) in a 9x13 pan (stone of course!) and put the pork chops on top with a little salt and pepper and bake... just like Mom used to make! They are very nummey! Serve with a vegetable (green beans) or a green salad!

I actually had Pork Chops last night - here's what I made:

I seasoned 3 large pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and PC Morrocan Rub and placed them in the Oval Baker (sprayed with a little oil). I sliced 1 large onion and scattered on top. Then I added 1 bag of frozen peas to the top. I added about 1 cup of water and poured over the peas. Baked at 375 for about 45 minutes (mine had bones and were thick - If they are boneless I'd say maybe 25-30 minutes) I pulled out the chops and mixed the onions and peas around in the juice. I added a little more salt and pepper to the peas and they were really good. I served Mashed Potatoes on the side. It was yummy!
