Description

A quick recipe for pork chops seasoned with dry ranch dressing mix.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 packet (1 oz) dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.
  2. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over both sides of the pork chops, pressing gently to adhere.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Carefully place the seasoned pork chops in the hot skillet.
  5. Sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
  7. Pour the water into the skillet around the chops.
  8. Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 5 to 8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  9. Remove the chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use boneless chops, but adjust the cooking time slightly.
  • If you prefer a sauce, whisk 1/4 cup of heavy cream into the pan drippings after removing the chops.
