Marry Me Pork Chops
These tender pork chops are simmered in a dreamy, creamy Parmesan sauce filled with garlic and sun dried tomatoes.
recipesbynani.comIf you are looking for a dinner that feels special but comes together in just one pan, this is the recipe for you. The combination of savory Parmesan, fragrant garlic, and tangy sun dried tomatoes creates a sauce so delicious that you will want to lick the plate clean.
I love serving these chops when I want to impress my family without spending all evening in the kitchen. Make sure to use freshly grated Parmesan cheese, as it melts much smoother than the bagged stuff, and serve this over mashed potatoes or with a side of crusty bread to catch all that wonderful sauce.
🧺 Ingredients
- 4 bone in pork chops
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

👩🍳Instructions

Season your pork chops on both sides with the salt and pepper.

Garnish with fresh basil and serve your pork chops while they are nice and hot.
💡 Tips
These pork chops go perfectly with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted green beans, or a warm piece of crusty bread. If you happen to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and reheat gently on the stove.
