PESTO-COATED CENTER-CUT PORK CHOP
I had an evening without my bride to experiment a bit with a pork chop and I believe it was worth sharing. Pour a glass of white wine. Slice and serve with steamed red potatoes. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. Spread 1/2 of the pesto over into the bottom of the baking dish.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Add olive oil.
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Cook pork chops in the hot oil until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to baking dish and top each with remaining pesto. Season with red pepper flakes. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 1 1/2 hours. Allow pork chops to rest for 10 minutes.

[email protected]Overall, this is a good recipe. The pesto coating is flavorful and the pork chops are cooked well. However, I found the dish to be a bit dry. I think I'll try brining the pork chops next time to see if that helps.
