Ruby-

If you just fry them they will dry out....Pork chops have very little fat on them so they need to be cooked on the stove AND finished in the oven. Here is by far the best way to cook the chops:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Dust pork with wondra flour, kosher salt and freshly ground pepper; pat off excess. Heat olive oil in large, ovenproof skillet on MEDIUM-HIGH on stovetop until oil faintly smokes; add pork.

Turn over when pork changes color about one-quarter of way up sides and seared side turns paper-bag brown, 3-4 min per side.

Place pan with pork in oven. Cook 4-5 min, until internal temp reaches 140 degrees. Check by inserting thermometer into thickest part of pork.

Serve with garlic mashed potatoes and veggies. ENJOY!

Chef J! This is the best pork that I have ever eaten! I did it the way you suggested and it was so tender with the batter and was perfect. I never thought about pork not having much fat which causes it to dry out. I was looking for ways to cook my loin chops and googled it. This suggested was 1st!

    Balsamic Pork Loin Chops

    The tangy taste of balsamic vinegar adds a zesty touch to grilled pork. The longer you marinate the chops, the more flavorful they'll become.

    Preparation time: 15 minutes
    Total time: 15 minutes (plus marinating time)
    Serving size: Makes 8 servings.

    Ingredients

    8 SCHWAN'S® Boneless Pork Loin Chops (#393), thawed
    12 ounces (1 1/2 cups) balsamic vinaigrette dressing

    NOTE: If a SCHWAN'S® product is not available in your area, please feel free to make an appropriate substitution.

    Steps

    Place chops in large resealable bag; pour vinaigrette dressing over.
    Seal bag and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours.
    Prepare medium-hot grill.
    Remove chops from marinade and pat dry.
    Discard remaining marinade.
    Grill chops directly over heat for about 10 to 11 minutes, turning once.

    boneless pork loin chops with onion marmalade

    Ingredients

    two 1-inch-thick boneless pork loin chops (about 6 ounces each)
    1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 large onion (about 3/4 pound), halved lengthwise and sliced thin crosswise
    1/4 cup water
    2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
    2 tablespoons red-currant jelly

    Preparation

    Trim excess fat from pork chops and sprinkle with rosemary and salt and pepper to taste. In a heavy 10-inch skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté pork chops until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer pork chops with tongs to a plate.
    In drippings remaining in skillet sauté onion until it begins to brown. Add water, vinegar, and jelly and bring to a boil, stirring until jelly melts. Simmer mixture, covered, over moderate heat until onion is tender, about 5 minutes.

    Return pork to skillet and cook, uncovered, turning once, until cooked through and almost all liquid is evaporated, about 5 minutes.

    Blue Cheese Stuffed Pork Loin Chops

    2 thick boneless pork chops (also known as mignonettes)
    2-4 tablespoons blue cheese
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    2 cloves garlic
    1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, to taste
    salt and pepper, to taste
    1/2 cup dry white wine

    With a sharp knife, make a horizontal slit in one of the wide sides of each chop but do not cut completely through to any of the other sides.
    Use the knife, your finger, or the handle portion of a wooden spoon to expand the void in the chop as large as possible.
    The goal is to make a pocket for the cheese (picture a coin purse, where only the top is open).
    Use as much of the cheese as is necessary to fill the pocket.
    Secure with toothpicks in such a way that the chops will still lay levelly in a pan.
    Heat olive oil in a saute pan.
    Make several slices through the garlic yet keeping each clove intact.
    Fry in the oil till brown but not burned, then remove from pan.
    Season chops with salt, pepper, and thyme.
    Brown the chops in the oil on each side.
    The cheese will probably begin to melt and leak from the chop, but don't worry about this.
    When chops are well browned, add the wine (as much as necessary to come about halfway up the sides of the chops) to the saute pan, cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until they are cooked through.
    Remove them from pan directly to dinner plate.
    Stir the cheese that has leaked out from the chops well into the wine and cooking juices, still over the heat, until you have a well-incorporated sauce.
    This should only take a moment.
    Serve sauce over the chops immediately, and enjoy.

    CREAMY PORK CHOPS

    Pork loin chops (I cook 6)
    1 reg. size can canned milk
    1 can cream of mushroom soup

    Roll pork chops in seasoned flour. Brown in a minimum of hot oil in skillet. Mix together canned milk and soup. Pour over chops. Cook over low burner until chops are done and tender - turning often.
    Remove chops from gravy. Serve gravy over cooked egg noodles. Works well with steak and chicken, too.

    Marinate them in Italian dressing for about 1 hour then roll in Italian style bread crumbs that have Parmesan and Romano cheeses mixed in - bake at 375 degrees F for 45 minutes to 1 hour depending upon how thick/big they are. Serve with smashed potatoes, green beans and maybe some gravy. It is easy, fast and very tasty.
