How to Make Pork Chops That Actually Stay Moist

  1. Season both sides of the pork chops generously with 2 tablespoons of Creole seasoning.
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning.
  3. Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. (Adjust oil amount as needed depending on the number of chops and pan size)
  5. Carefully place pork chops in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  6. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a wire rack or paper towels for a few minutes before serving.
  7. Season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
