  • Tenderize the pork chops: Pounding the pork chops with a meat mallet or using a fork to poke holes in them will help to tenderize them and ensure even cooking.
  • Marinate the pork chops: Marinating the pork chops in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to infuse them with flavor and make them more juicy.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out and becoming tough.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the pork chops are cooked to the desired doneness, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chop. The internal temperature should read 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.

Conclusion:
