Whenever I want a recipe that is easy, super delicious, and something that usually WOWs people, I cook these pork chops. I forget how I originally came across the idea to make these, I know it was two different recipes put together. I want to say the Tomato Cream sauce came out of a Julia Child’s cookbook but I could be wrong. Anyway, this recipe is fairly simple and yields perfectly cooked, tender, and juicy pork chops with a tomato sauce that compliments the pork so well!
I want to note on the pork chops, as it’s a question I get asked often… You can use bone-in chops or boneless. I use boneless, makes it easier not having to fight around a bone. Whatever you do though, make sure they are thick cut. 1″ thick at least. If you use pork chops that are 3/4″ or 5/8″ for this recipe, you will need to adjust the cooking time. If you can’t get your hands on pork chops that are already thick cut, cut them yourself! Buy a boneless pork loin and cut the chops however thick you want them! You can do it!
