7. HOW TO COOK BONELESS PORK CHOPS RECIPE TIPS
Take you boneless pork chops out of your refrigerator about 15 minutes before you plan to start cooking. The meat will cook more evenly throughout when you bring it at room temperature. This simple trick makes a whole difference, and you’re in for perfect pork chops every time!
Keep an eye on your pork chops while cooking: With a little less fat and no bone to protect from overcooking, boneless pork chops tend to dry up quicker than their bone-in counterpart.
Rest the meat after cooking pork chops: A quick rest period of five minutes before serving and cutting allows the juices to flow back through the meat and make it more tender. You can cover the pork chops with a shallow plate or loosely tent with foil.
