Seasoned Pork Chops

shelshel0110's Note:

I invented these pork chops one day when I was feeling creative. They turned out to be delicious....now a family favorite. And they are so incredibly easy to make. Sometimes I will use the same recipe on chicken as well.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 4 pork chops (I prefer thinner chops for this recipe)
• 1 -2 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 -2 teaspoon vinegar
• seasoning salt or adobo seasoning
• garlic powder
• onion powder
• thyme
• cumin
• black pepper
• white pepper (only if you like spicy food) (optional)
• nonstick cooking spray

Directions:

1. Lightly grease a large frying pan with non-stick spray. Heat the pan. Temperature will depend on the thickness of the chops. For thin chops use med-high heat. For thicker chops use medium heat.
2. Brush pork chops with vinegar and then brush with a thin coat of olive oil. Lightly sprinkle the pork chops with each of the seasonings. Flip and repeat on the other side.
3. Place in the frying pan until browned on one side (usually about 7-12 minutes). Flip and cook until other side is browned.
4. Enjoy!

I was in a hurry tonight for dinner and wanted to find something to jazz up pork chops that was quick and easy. I googled "seasoning for pork chops" and this recipe was one that came up. So I decided to try it. It was a hit!! It was quick and easy. I grilled it on the bbq and it turned out great. I had thicker chops but it worked just fine! It provided just enough spice to the meat without overpowering it....both my hubby and 13 yr-old son that it was great!! I did not add the white pepper this time, but for sure next time I will try it. I will be keeping this recipe on file. THANKS for a simple yet flavorful recipe!!

Too easy to be this good! I tweaked the recipe to my liking a bit, while still keeping the integrity of the original. I used Apple Cider Vinegar, added some Tony's Seasoning Salt (in addition to the seasoning salt but cut down on the amounts so that it wasn't overbearing or salty), added some dried parsley flakes, along with dried celery flakes. While cooking in the pan, about a spoon of olive oil spread was added for a touch of buttery flavoring w/o the fat. I think those are the only changes I made. Oh, and I used the white pepper for a little extra zing. Do Try!!
