Whether you're looking to create a quick and easy weeknight dinner or can become a show-stopping meal for a special occasion, pork chops can be a reliable go-to.

When it comes to buying pork chops, it's essential to look for cuts that are fresh and high-quality. You should purchase pork chops from a local butcher or reputable meat counter. Look for chops that are pinkish-red in color with a decent amount of fat cap to help keep things moist (depending on the recipe). The thickness of the chops can vary depending on your preference, but generally, a 1-inch-thick chop is a good starting point.
