Easy way to prepare boneless pork loin chops?

[travelbug]

I love pork, but for some reason I've never fixed it at home. I'm thinking of picking up a package of boneless pork loin chops and giving it a try. I looked online to get some ideas on how to fix it easily. Thought I'd also ask my fellow DISers how you like to cook it. Baked? Grilled? Fried? I'm not big on broiled meat, so I don't think I'd do it that way.

Thanks for any ideas you have for me.

I make them a lot of different ways but easy is to season them and put them on the grill . I have some mixed seasonings I like but even if you use kosher salt and some pepper they will grill up nicely. Just use a meat thermometer so you don't overcook them.

I usually grill them.
I do two ways. I have a pork seasoning that I use (bought from the local meat place) and the other way is with just salt and pepper and garlic.

I have also used them in a casserole with potatoes cheese etc.

I just made some tonight.
I mix Panko breadcrumbs and parm cheese to coat them in and fry them in coconut oil. Yum!

Costco has great thick boneless pork loin chops! We like to grill them, after lightly coating them with pork rub.

Sometimes I bake them the way my grandmother did - old fashioned comfort food. Just put the chops in a baking dish and cover them with catsup thinned with a little water, some sliced raw onions, minced garlic, and black pepper. Cover and bake at 350 degrees until they are tender. I turn mine over once during baking. (Uncover them toward the end if you want them to brown up a little.) Just check on them once in awhile to make sure there is enough liquid to keep them from burning.) These are great with mashed potatoes, especially in the winter. My grandmother had a knack for using really simple ingredients to make unexpectedly delicious food.

I had boneless pork chops today----I brined them overnight in a molasses brine and grilled them. Delish!!!!

The easiest way is shake-n-bake. But I tend to pan fry or bake in the oven with onions.

Place chops in a dish and pour Zesty Italian dressing over them (just enough to cover) and allow them to sit in this over night. Next day, you can add a little garlic, salt and pepper and grill on George Foreman, bake in oven or fry on stove top. Any way you like really. Very tasty!

George Foreman!

Things tend to come out a bit dry, but can't beat it when it comes to easy.

We bake them with salt, pepper and garlic powder, flip them, then toward the end of cooking put some Stonewall Kitchen Onion and Garlic jam on them. (Don't add too early or it will melt off.) Super easy.

We bake them. Brush with a little melted butter or olive oil and shake each in a ziploc bag with a mixture of panko crumbs, salt, pepper, and whatever other seasonings we like.
Shake-n-bake is pretty good in a pinch.

My husband makes a fabulous pork loin. He puts garlic in the center, ties the roast together and makes a rub that consists mostly of salt and pepper. He sears it in his cast iron skillet, 2 minutes for each turn, so that it's seared all the way around. Then he puts the cast iron skillet in a 450 degree oven and cooks until the meat thermometer reaches 140, depending on the size it takes 10-12 minutes. The skillet comes out and the meat sits/rests in a foil tent for about 10 minutes. note: people often cook their pork too long. It's not chicken and it can be eaten pink, as a matter of fact, it's delicious that way.

I prefer pork tenderloin to chops. Last night i made 2 planning on leftovers 5 of us at the first one. Then when my son came home from work, he ate the entire second one!

I butterflied it and stuffed it with sauted spinach and a little cheddr cheese. Tied it up and cooked the way shortbun's husband does, first on tove top, then finish in oven,(i cook it at 375 though)

shake and bake. Laugh if you want, but it wont get easier than that. As long as you dont overcook, comes out amazingly good.

Fry chops up in butter until brown. Remove them from pan and put about half a cup of honey in the pan and about a quarter cup of chopped pecans. Scrape up brown bits into the warm honey and let simmer a min then kill the heat. Use as a sauce for the pork chops.

You can always go 'old school'. It isnt healthy but sooooo good, I make them this way twice a year. Dredge in flour with a little salt, pepper,and garlic powder. Fry in a heavy (I use cast iron) skillet until done and crispy brown. Remove chops and stir enough flour in drippings to make a roux (think paste on texture) once that is light brown start whisking in milk until mixture is a gravy consistency then cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes and chops smothered in the gravy. DH says it is his favorite meal so he gets it on his birthday and our anniversary. I add in a nice salad, some veggies and homemade fried apples for dessert.

I'm making grilled pork chops next week. I used to love using a marinade called "Marinade in Minutes" from Adolphs. I can't find it anymore but I found a meat marinade from McCormicks that I'm going to use.
