🤔 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.

🥒 What to Serve with Thin Pork Chops

There are so many sides that will complement these thin pork chop 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 this microwave baked potato recipe, 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.
