Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops. Bone-in pork chops are more flavorful than boneless pork chops. If you are using boneless pork chops, be sure to pound them thin so that they cook evenly.
  • Season the pork chops generously. Pork chops can handle a lot of seasoning, so don't be afraid to use a variety of herbs and spices. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin.
  • Sear the pork chops until they are golden brown. This will help to lock in the juices and create a nice crust.
  • Cook the pork chops through. Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
  • Make the lemon gravy while the pork chops are cooking. This will save you time and ensure that the gravy is hot and ready when the pork chops are done.
  • Serve the pork chops with the lemon gravy and your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Spinach Pork Chops with Lemon Gravy is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the lemon gravy is tangy and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
