Ingredients:
- 4 chicken chops
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons oil (for browning)
- 1/4 cup greased baking dish
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
- Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
-
Brown the Chops:
- In a skillet or frying pan, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken chops to the hot oil and brown them on both sides until golden brown, typically about 3-4 minutes per side. This process helps seal in the juices and adds extra flavor to the chops.
-
Combine Seasonings:
- In a small bowl, mix together the water, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined. These ingredients create a savory and slightly tangy marinade that will infuse the chops with delicious flavor as they bake.
-
Arrange in Baking Dish:
- Once the chops are nicely browned, transfer them to the prepared greased baking dish, arranging them in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
-
Pour Over Marinade:
- Pour the prepared seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken chops in the baking dish. Make sure to coat each chop thoroughly with the marinade, ensuring maximum flavor penetration during baking.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the chicken chops for approximately 1 hour, or until they are cooked through and tender. Baking at a moderate temperature allows the chops to cook slowly and evenly, resulting in juicy and succulent meat.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once baked to perfection, remove the chicken chops from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and flavorful chops with every bite.
- Serve your delicious Chicken Baked Chops hot alongside your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp garden salad, for a wholesome and satisfying meal that everyone will love.
