Chef's pro tip
One common hiccup when making this recipe is overcooking pork chops, which results in tough, dry meat. How to prevent this? Well, keep a close eye on the cooking time. And use a meat thermometer at the thickest part of the cut. We want an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Also, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes after baking. This allows them to soak in the juices and enhances their overall flavor and tenderness.
