Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 1 cup Italian dressing
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Italian dressing, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
If freezing for later use, transfer the marinated pork chops and marinade into a labeled freezer-safe bag. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before proceeding with cooking.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops, discarding any excess marinade. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until the pork chops are golden brown and cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Serve these Italian pork chops with a side of pasta, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad to complete the meal.
