How to Make Baked Pork Chops For 2

- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet (cast iron is ideal) over medium-high heat.
- Season 2 (4-6 oz each) pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
- Add pork chops to the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
- Pour 1/2 cup creamed corn over the browned pork chops in the skillet.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Meanwhile, bake the potatoes for 25-30 minutes in the oven, until tender.
- Serve the baked pork chops over the roasted potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
