Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

6 6"-8" square aluminum foil sheets
6 medium pork chops (bone in, any cut will work)
6 medium russet potatoes (peeled and sliced)
2 large yellow onions (peeled and sliced)
1 lb baby carrots
1 can(s) golden cream of mushroom soup
1 vegetable spray

Steps:

1. pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
2. spray aluminum foil sheets lightly with vegetable spray
3. place (1) pork chop on each aluminum foil sheet
4. evenly divide and layer vegetables on top of each pork chop; first onions, then potatoes, then carrots
5. evenly divide and dollop, by the tablespoon, cream of mushroom soup on top of carrots
6. pull top and bottom of foil sheet to top and tightly fold down; tightly roll each end inward (this forms a pocket)
7. place pockets on oven rack placed in middle of oven; bake for 40 minutes; serve

Tips:

Choose the right pork chops: Look for chops that are about 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
Season the chops liberally: Pork chops can easily become bland, so don't be afraid to season them generously. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, or try a more creative seasoning blend.
Cook the chops over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the chops and create a nice crust, while also cooking them evenly throughout.
Don't overcook the chops: Pork chops are best when they are cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chops are cooked to the desired temperature.
Let the chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, making them more tender and flavorful.

Pocket pork chops are a delicious and easy to make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. They can be cooked in a variety of ways, so there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy.
