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.

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Brined Pork Chops that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
