Ingredients:
– 4 boneless pork chops
– 1 cup Italian dressing
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing the marinade. In a bowl, combine the Italian dressing, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all the flavors are evenly distributed.
2. Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, making sure to coat them thoroughly. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the pork chops to soak up the delicious flavors.
3. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
4. Once the pork chops have marinated, remove them from the bag or dish, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
5. Place the pork chops on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops, so adjust as needed.
6. Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender and juicy pork chops.
7. Serve the Pork Chops garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness. Pair them with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
8. Enjoy these flavorful and succulent Pork Chops with Italian Dressing that are sure to please your taste buds and leave you craving more.
