SKILLET PORK CHOPS IN PINK SAUCE



Skillet Pork Chops in Pink Sauce image

This is a nice weeknight skillet meal using boneless pork chops. This recipe is different from others using cream of mushroom soup because the addition of ketchup to the sauce gives it nice flavor and a pink hue, hence the title. This dish goes well paired with egg noodles.

Tips:

* Choose the Right Pork Chops: Select high-quality, bone-in pork chops for the best flavor and juiciness. Look for chops that are about 1-inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. * Tenderize the Pork Chops: To ensure tender pork chops, consider tenderizing them before cooking. You can use a meat mallet or a fork to poke holes in the chops. This helps to break down the muscle fibers and make them more tender. * Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the pork chops generously with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to enhance their flavor and make them more flavorful. * Cook the Pork Chops Properly: The key to cooking delicious pork chops is to cook them properly. Cook them over medium-high heat for a few minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking can dry out the chops and make them tough. * Add Zucchini Late in the Cooking Process: Zucchini cooks quickly, so add it to the skillet towards the end of the cooking process. This will ensure that it doesn't become overcooked and mushy.

Conclusion:

Skillet pork chops with zucchini is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for dinner or lunch. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pork chops turn out tender, juicy, and delicious. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad. Enjoy!
