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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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).
Step 5
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Step 6
Serve these Italian pork chops with a side of pasta, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad to complete the meal.
