    • 🐖 10 Quick Thin Pork Chop Recipes

    If you love pork recipes, these thinner pork dishes will hit the spot with at least half the amount of cooking time! These recipes include both boneless and bone-in pork chops and use a variety of spices, sauces, grains and veggies to make the perfect well-rounded meal. 

    These pork recipes are perfect for both busy weeknights and low-key weekend meals.

    ❀ Why We Love Thin Pork Chops

    Quick & simple- All of these recipes can be cooked in 30 minutes, and many require only ONE pan and minimal ingredients.

    Variety- You'll find a range of spices, seasonings and sauces to choose from, prepared in a variety of ways. From skillets to sheet pans or broilers...there are so many ways to cook with pork! 

    Family-friendly- These are all pork chop recipes that will please a crowd. Note: many of these recipes have tips on modifying a dish for picky or spice-averse kiddos.

    đŸ€” Will thin pork chops dry out?

    Because of their thinness, it can be easy to overcook or dry out thin pork chops. But a lot of these recipes have special techniques to keep the pork juicy on the inside.

    According to Wholesome Farmhouse Recipes, the best way to keep pork chops from drying out is to sear the meat first and then finish cooking the pork in the oven. Marinating pork chops ahead of time is also a great strategy. Find more tips and tricks in their guide for cooking Thin Pork Chops Without Drying Them Out.

    đŸ„’ What to Serve with Thin Pork Chops

    There are so many sides that will complement these pork recipes.

    If veggies are your preference, consider adding you favorite steamed green vegetable, like green beans, broccoli or roasted asparagus. You might consider a potato side, like roasted potatoes, with garlic or a side of raw veggies, like sliced cucumber, carrot sticks, or peeled celery sticks.

    For all you pasta lovers, pork dishes (like our Panko Parmesan Pork Chops) pair really well with a simple pasta, like this One Pot Lemony Garlic Pasta or Creamy Vegetable Pasta.
