Report

Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops about 1 inch thick
- 8 ounces Italian dressing
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, then pour the Italian dressing over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to marinate. For best results, marinate them for up to 4 hours.
- About 15 minutes before cooking, preheat your oven’s broiler to high. Place an oven rack on the upper third of the oven, about 6-8 inches from the heat source.
- Remove the pork chops from the marinade and toss away the marinade.
- Optional: Season the pork chops with a pinch or sprinkling of salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs.
- Line a baking sheet or broiler pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, and arrange the pork chops on it in a single layer. Broil the pork chops for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of your pork chops.
- Remove your pork chops from the oven and allow them to rest for about 4-5 minutes before you serve them. Doing this will allow the juices to redistribute, making the chops more tender and flavorful.
Notes
- Use a thermometer: If you are unsure if the pork chops are fully cooked, use a meat thermometer. They must be cooked to a minimum of 145 degrees F for safety.
- Don't rush. Marinate the pork chops for at least 1 hour though 4 hours is best for maximum flavor.
- Don’t use thin chops: I like to use thicker-cut pork chops because I find that thin pork chops cook and dry out fast when broiled.
- Keep an eye on the broiler: Ovens vary so it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the broiler so the pork chops don’t burn.
