Anybody know any good pork chop recipes? We are having whole wheat pasta and a vegetable, so I don't really want to bread them and save the calories, but any good recipes to flavor or season the pork chops? Thanks!

    If you have time, I like to marinade both pork and chicken in low calorie italian dressing for at least a couple of hours. Then grill, basting with BBQ sauce. If you do not want the few extra calories from the BBQ sauce, just grilling with the marinade is an excellent flavor! And they tend to stay juicy better than anything else I've tried.

    I like to put mine in the crockpot with a can of 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup, some water, fresh mushrooms and a little garlic. Makes a delish chop plus a nice sauce for your noodles, potatoes or rice.

    Maybe you could season them with Italian seasoning, brown them and then cook them thru with a can of diced tomatoes, a little parm and spinach to make a sauce for the pasta?

    I used to make a marmalade, chili glaze that was pretty good.....I can't find that book right now. (http://www.amazon.com/Pure-Flavor-All-American-Recipes-Northwest/dp/0307346420) That was the book. REALLY good stuff.

    There's also a good pork rub by the brand that makes the Montreal Chicken seasoning.

    That actually sounds really good. I am going to try it :wink:

    Here is one that I use all the time, I use Lea and Perrins Low Sodium Worcestershire to keep the sodium down. Also, you need to use thick chops for grilling (thin chops dry out to fast). I BBQ until internal temp is 145 degrees turning every 5 minutes at about 450 grill temp. Not sure where I got this recipe, but it was online:

    Honey Grilled Pork Chops

    A quick and easy grill recipe for a summer evening. You could make a little extra of the marinade and put in on
    zucchini slices while they grill as a side dish.

    4 Boneless Pork Chops
    2 T Honey
    1/4 c Worcestershire
    1/4 t Black Pepper
    1/4 t Garlic Powder

    In a shallow glass dish or bowl, mix together honey, Worcestershire sauce and spices. Add pork chops and toss to
    coat. Cover and refrigerate for no more than 4 hours to marinate. Lightly oil grill and preheat to medium. Remove
    pork chops from marinade. Grill until cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes, turning often.
    Yield: 4 Servings

    Stuffed Chops - proportions are for 2 chops.

    Make a brine by boiling 1.5 cups water with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 tablespoon salt. When sugar and salt have dissolved, pour the brine over a cup or two of ice cubes to cool it down to room temperature. Place thick cut chops in the brine (bone-in or boneless doesn't matter), cover and refrigerate for at least an hour and no longer than 4 hours.

    Preheat the oven to 375.

    Rough chop 10 slices of turkey pepperoni with a granny smith apple. Sprinkle with a teaspoon or so of curry powder, or use whatever your favorite spices and herbs may be to season the apple mixture. If you're not into apples, pears or raisins or any type of dried fruit will work. Mix well.

    Make 'pockets' in your chops by cutting into them lengthwise right in the middle. Don't cut all the way through. Stuff the chops with the apple mixture. Any leftover stuffing can be used to top the chops once they are cooked. Pan sear the chops in a little oil in a skillet until they're brown. Place chops on a wire rack on a baking sheet and put into the oven. They should cook within 20-25 minutes depending on how well they were browned. Internal temperature should be 150 deg. Let rest for 3-4 minutes before serving.

    This is my first time on the MFP community....but I do actually have a pork chop recipe that my kids love....
    Bear in mind that I'm from the UK - but here goes

    Sweet pork chop casserole

    1) Dry fry your pork chops after removing excess fat for a minute or so on either side to brown them off a bit
    2) Turn down the heat and add to the pan at least one large chopped up onion
    3) Then add in a 2 - 3 thinly sliced carrots and 2 - 3 peeled sliced apples
    4) Let this all cook a little - and the juices flow from the apples and carrots
    5) Once the pork chops look cooked ( I usually leave this on for at least 20 minutes) add in some made-up chicken gravy, and a handful of frozen peas
    6) Leave again for a few minutes and add salt/pepper/sweetener or more gravy granuals to taste....


    We love this with a few baby jacket potatoes and brocolli....delicious and nutritiou

    Enjoy and share recipe ; )

    We all love this with some baby jacket potatoes

    Rhubarb cherry sauce!

    Use dried cherries, mix them with hot water - not too much and 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, let them stand for a while to soften. In the meantime, chop an onion, heat some oil in a pan, add the onion, stir until it softens, then add rhubarb cut in pieces as well as cherries with water. Add 1-2 tbsp of sugar if you want and some nutmeg. Cook until the sauce thickens up a bit.

    Saute them with plums and/or apricots and red chili flakes. Optional: deglaze the pan with just a little dry white wine to make a sauce.
