Brining is an easy way to have moist and delicious pork chops every time. We use rosemary here, but sage, thyme and oregano would all be great options.
Ingredients
3 cups warm water
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 cup ice cubes
1 clove garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped
3 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
3 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
4 boneless pork chops, 3/4 inch thick (5 oz each)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In ungreased 13 x 9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish, mix warm water, salt and brown sugar. Stir until sugar and salt are dissolved. Stir in ice cubes, garlic, 2 teaspoons of the rosemary and 2 teaspoons of the thyme. Place pork chops in brine; cover and refrigerate 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Remove pork chips from brine; pat dry with paper towel. Discard brine. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork chops; cook 8 to 12 minutes, turning once, until pork is no longer pink and meat thermometer inserted in center reads 145 °F. Sprinkle pork chops with pepper, remaining 1 teaspoon rosemary and remaining 1 teaspoon thyme. Let stand 5 minutes.
