Notes: 1.
-
21
I brine my pork chops in the apple juice and soy sauce to help make them extra juicy.
-
22
This step is optional, but I feel it makes the pork chops extra tender.

24
I used 1/2-inch thick pork chops because this is what they had at the store.
-
25
These are thin and cook fast, therefore they only needed 20 minutes of cook time.
-
26
Feel free to use 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick pork chops and adjust the cooking time to 40-45 minutes.
