25 Best Pork Chop Recipes

This is a list of the 25 Best Pork Chop Recipes I found from scouring the web.

Pork chops are an inexpensive cut of meat that's lean and high in protein, making them a great filling budget-friendly option. Since pork chops are on the leaner side, they can get a bad rep for being dry or boring. When cooked just right, pork chops can be juicy like a steak and bursting with flavor.

There are many different methods for preparing and cooking pork chops. Some methods in the recipes below include a buttermilk marinade, a saltwater brine, reverse searing, cooking just a few minutes per side and then transferring to the oven, and smothering in all sorts of sauces and marinades. Some of these recipes are for slow cooker pork chops or even air fryer pork chops.

By the end of this list, pork chops should be one of your favorite go-to family dinners.

Rest assured that, just like the rest of the recipes on my blog, this list is gluten-free and contains no processed ingredients such as boxed mixes, seasoning packets, and cream soups.
