Honey and Garlic Baked Pork Chops

If there is one thing my family is a big fan of, it's Asian food.

The flavors of these pork chops, will satisfy any Chinese food craving.

And with this recipe, the longer the chops marinade, the better they will be.

And I love the aroma that fills the house when cooking these pork chops. The ginger and honey makes these pork chops sweet and flavorful.

I've been doing a lot of organizing lately, like cleaning out my master closet, and I'm sure you know what a task that can be. 

And on evenings like this, cooking a big meal would've been to much to handle, and that's why this dish is perfect for such a day. You just let the meat marinade while doing chores, then when everything settles down, just pop it in the oven, and dinner is done.

 

Ingredients:

8 Pork chops

1/2 cup Honey

4 tablespoons Soy sauce

1/4 teaspoon minced ginger

1 tablespoon of minced Garlic

Directions:

In a large bowl, add honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Mix until well combined, and pour marinade into a gallon sized resealable bag. Add pork chops to bag with marinade. Seal bag and place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight. When ready, bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes, basting every 20 minutes. 

Serve with a side of steamed rice, and broccoli.

Fried Pork Chops! A Family Treat!

One of our family favorites is fried pork chops. It is definitely a treat! Sometimes when I need a quick dinner idea, this always fixes my problem. I guess mainly because I always have most of the staples in my pantry for this meal. I always have oil, flour, seasoning salt, and a few cans of beans on hand. If there are any leftover the next day, I just re-heat them, and serve them with a fried egg for a quick country breakfast! Sometimes during this busy time of year, I need something that does not resemble fast food, and this meal is sure to satisfy.

Ingredients:

About 7-8 center cut pork chops 

1 1/2 cups Self-Rising Flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt

Canola oil for frying

Heat oil in a frying pan. Use enough oil to just come almost half way up frying pan. Meanwhile, in a shallow dish or pie plate, combine flour, salt, pepper, seasoning salt. Mix to combine. Place chops in flour, and cover with flour. Shake of excess flour. Carefully place chops in frying pan and fry on medium high heat for about 6 minutes per side, or until pork chops are golden brown. When removing pork chops from pan, I always check with a meat thermometer for doneness. Serve with some rustic cut french fries and a side of baked beans, and your all set!
