Notes
To keep your pork chops extra juicy, let them rest after baking. This allows flavors to meld. You can use different barbecue sauces or even homemade versions for a personal touch. Leftover pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them wrapped individually. Experiment with garnishing your dish with fresh herbs or serving alongside sides like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal. Avoid overcrowding the skillet during searing to ensure proper browning and flavor development.
