Instructions
-
Prepare the Pork Chops: Start by pricking each boneless pork chop a few times with a fork. This helps the seasoning penetrate the meat for a more flavorful bite.
-
Make the Seasoning Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter, Dijon mustard, dill weed, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Stir everything together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
-
Season the Pork Chops: Generously spoon the seasoning mixture over both sides of the pork chops, ensuring they’re fully coated with the savory mix.
-
Broil the Pork Chops: Preheat your broiler and position the rack about 4 to 6 inches away from the heat source. Place the seasoned pork chops on a broiler pan. Broil them for about 4 minutes on each side, or until the juices run clear and the pork is fully cooked through. For a slightly crispy crust, feel free to broil them for an extra minute on each side.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once your pork chops are cooked to perfection, remove them from the broiler and let them rest for a minute or two. Serve hot and enjoy the zesty, buttery flavor of these simple yet delicious dill-infused pork chops.
Tips for Success
- Thickness of Pork Chops: For best results, use pork loin chops that are about 1-inch thick. Thicker chops may need a bit more time under the broiler.
- Customizing the Flavor: Feel free to adjust the amount of Dijon mustard or dill weed to suit your taste. If you prefer a spicier kick, a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes can be added to the seasoning mix.
- Pairing Suggestions: These Dilly Pork Chops pair wonderfully with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad for a well-rounded meal.
This simple Dilly Pork Chops recipe is sure to become a favorite in your dinner rotation. It’s quick, easy, and full of flavor—just the way a great weeknight meal should be!
