Pork Chops, Breaded Broccoli, and Pierogies

Introducing my fail-proof method to ensure pork chops stay juicy and tender every time. The secret lies in patience; allowing the pork to rest for at least 20 minutes with salt on both sides. This simple yet crucial step helps to lock in moisture and flavor, ensuring each bite is mouthwatering. Let's not forget the sauce – a crucial part of the dish. Stay tuned as I reveal the recipe for a sauce that surprised me as it was that good.

I ventured into a new territory by trying breaded broccoli and oven-baked pierogies for the first time. Both emerged from the oven with a crispy perfection that surpassed my expectations. I can already envision them becoming staple sides in my future meals.

Here is what you will need:

Pork Chops

Olive Oil

Salt

Pepper

Weber Roasted Garlic & Herb

McCormick Lemon & Pepper

Lawry’s Seasoning Salt

Garlic Salt

Birdseye Breaded Broccoli

Mrs. T’s Pierogies

Campbells Cream of Mushroom

Chicken Broth

Cheddar Cheese

Daisy Sour Cream

Instructions:

Take your pork chops out 20-30 minutes before cooking and sprinkle salt on them. Pre-heating your oven to 400° Fahrenheit. Time this so your oven is ready when the pork is ready to be cooked. Place the breaded broccoli and pierogies on a baking sheet. Spray both sides of the pierogies with non-stick cooking spray. Place the baking sheet in the oven when it’s preheated and set a timer for 19 minutes. Season your pork with roasted pepper, garlic & herb, Lemon pepper, Lawry’s season salt, and garlic salt. Go easy on the lemon pepper and season salt. In a skillet on medium-high heat, pour some olive oil, enough for a thin layer in the skillet. Once that is hot, place your seasoned pork chops in the skillet and let them sear. Flip when there is a nice sear and cook the other side. You want 145° Fahrenheit internal temperature of the pork. In a medium pot, heat up half a can of cream of mushroom and half cup of chicken broth. When that gets hot add a large spoon of sour cream and 2 or 3 slices of cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and incorporated. Add the fried roasted garlic that fell off the pork chops from your skillet to the sauce. Stir it all and you have your sauce. Wait for your food in the oven to be done and plate your food. Enjoy!
